Many people ask if egg retrieval is painful. You can’t blame the doctor for the pain, it’s because the doctor wants to get all your eggs as much as possible. Pain varies from person to person, some people are in a bad position and are prone to pain. Most people in our department use a very fine needle for egg retrieval, which causes less bleeding and pain. Our egg retrieval needle is our own invention, with a patent for the invention authorized by the National Patent Office, which is not available in other hospitals. The cross-section of the needles we use is about a quarter of the size of traditional needles. At present, for 1-2 eggs, we still use the traditional retrieval needles, and sometimes we have to flush them. The needle we use for aspiration of fluid in the fallopian tube and cysts is 23G, which is equivalent to a blood extraction needle. We are the only one who has such a needle, other hospitals do not have it. General anesthesia and hospitalization for egg retrieval are supposed to be obsolete techniques and procedures. If we make the egg retrieval needle thin, there is no need for anesthesia. With a thin egg retrieval needle, there is very little bleeding and it is safer and there is no need for hospitalization for observation. A new technology will change a lot. Many people are asking, do you give anesthesia for egg retrieval? You should ask, “Doctor, do you give me a fine needle to retrieve my eggs? Anesthesia is expensive and carries certain risks.
