Abdominal distension after egg retrieval may be a normal phenomenon after egg retrieval, or it may be a manifestation of ovarian inflammation and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, which can be handled by resting, dietary modification, medication, surgery and other methods.
1. Normal phenomenon: abdominal distension is a common symptom of ovarian stimulation during egg retrieval, which can be relieved by rest.
2. Ovarian inflammation: Egg retrieval, abortion, tubal imaging and other gynecological surgical operations may induce ovarian inflammation, resulting in abdominal distension. In the acute inflammation period, it can be treated with antibiotics, such as cefoxitin, doxycycline, levofloxacin and so on.
After the inflammation is eliminated, the bloating can be relieved. If the patient develops adhesion around the ovary or ovarian tubal wrapping, etc., surgical treatment can be considered.
3. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome: high sensitivity of ovaries to ovulation stimulating drugs can cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, which can cause abdominal distension, abdominal fluid accumulation and generalized edema. Mild patients can drink a lot of water, usually can recover by themselves.
Moderate to severe patients need to test the abdominal circumference, urine output, weight and other indicators, and hospitalization if necessary. Abdominal distension due to fluid accumulation in the abdomen can be relieved by abdominal drainage. In case of ovarian rupture, surgery should be performed in case of severe internal bleeding.
Abdominal distension after egg collection may also be caused by other reasons. If it is not relieved after a period of time, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, to clarify the cause under the guidance of professional doctors and to treat it as early as possible.
