Risks and sequelae of egg retrieval surgery
Egg retrieval is a common treatment method for infertility patients, but this method also comes with certain risks and sequelae. The following will introduce the relevant hazards in detail from four aspects: preoperative examination, anesthetic drugs, surgical process and postoperative recovery.
Preoperative examination
Extensive clinical examinations are required before egg retrieval surgery to ensure that the body is suitable for the surgery. These inspections include but are not limited to:
1. Ultrasound examination: It can understand the status of the ovaries and the thickness of the endometrium, and check whether the uterus is normal.
2. Blood tests: Check thyroid function, liver and kidney function, and blood routine, etc.
3. Cardiopulmonary function test: Ensure that the body can withstand the anesthetic drugs used during the operation.
Although these examinations increase the safety of surgery, they also bring additional financial and psychological burdens, which may cause a certain amount of stress and anxiety for patients.
Narcotic drugs
Egg retrieval surgery requires the use of anesthetic drugs, usually general anesthesia or sedation anesthesia, to ensure the smooth progress of the surgery. However, anesthetic drugs also bring certain risks and sequelae, including:
1. Respiratory system problems, such as laryngeal edema, obstructive sleep apnea, etc.
2. Circulatory system problems, such as increased or decreased blood pressure, slow or rapid heartbeat, etc.
3. Allergic reactions, such as rash, shortness of breath, hypotension, etc.
Surgical process
Egg retrieval surgery requires puncturing ovarian cysts, extracting eggs, and cleaning them. This process may bring the following risks:
1. Bleeding: Because the ovaries are rich in blood vessels, heavy bleeding may occur during the operation.
2. Infection: During surgery, you will be exposed to the external environment, increasing the risk of infection.
3. Perforation: Surgical instruments may perforate the ovaries or other abdominal organs, causing serious consequences.
Postoperative recovery
Postoperative recovery also requires attention to some risks and sequelae, including:
1. Pain: Mild to moderate abdominal pain may occur after surgery, and appropriate use of pain relief drugs is required.
2. Bleeding: Because the operation caused certain damage to the ovaries, slight bleeding may occur after the operation, and timely observation is required.
3. Ovarian syndrome: Because egg retrieval will cause trauma to the ovaries, resulting in secondary ovarian dysfunction, which may affect the menstrual cycle and secondary reproductive ability.
Summary
To sum up, egg retrieval surgery is a common method for treating infertility, but it also has certain risks and sequelae. Detailed examinations are required before surgery, care is required during surgery, and care is required during postoperative recovery. If you can master some self-care methods, you can reduce unnecessary harm.
