What is the best food to eat after frozen embryo transplantation?

In fact, many patients who have just completed in vitro fertilization are very concerned about what they should eat, because diet can determine whether the test-tube baby has matured in the uterus and can safely achieve a truly purposeful restorative effect. During this period, patients should maintain a light diet and eat some high-protein foods that are easy to digest, which will be more beneficial to the body.

1. Eat light food and choose easily digestible food

Because patients have been bedridden for too long after transplantation, their gastrointestinal motility is slow and gastrointestinal emptying is slow. Therefore, we recommend choosing light, easily digestible, and non-greasy foods, such as various fresh vegetables, fruits, fresh milk, eggs, fish, rice porridge, etc. Fried foods are difficult to digest, and soybeans and soy beans are difficult to digest.

2. High-protein diet

Because many patients experience abdominal distension and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome after egg retrieval, we recommend eating more high-protein foods, such as eggs, milk, lean meat, fish and other protein-rich foods. Eat small meals frequently, and try to eat more diuretic foods such as watermelon juice, orange juice, winter melon soup, carrot soup, mung bean soup, etc., and try to drink more and urinate more. Dry beans, potatoes, yams and sweets can cause bloating and should be consumed in moderation.

3. Try to eat less cold drinks and spicy foods

Spicy food is a general term for fried foods, chili peppers, peppercorns, garlic, mustard, pepper, ginger, tobacco, alcohol and alcoholic beverages. Cold drinks can easily stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and cause stomach pain, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc. Spicy food can also enhance the large intestine's absorption of water, resulting in dry and hard stools and constipation. Both constipation and diarrhea can cause uterine contractions, which is not conducive to embryo implantation.

4. Eat more foods rich in dietary fiber

After transplantation, patients are prone to constipation due to their low activity and slow gastrointestinal activity. We recommend that patients eat more foods rich in dietary fiber, such as celery, leeks, lotus root, yam, etc.
