Can I eat kiwi fruit after test-tube embryo transfer?
Test tube embryo transfer refers to in vitro fertilization (IVF) embryo transfer. After IVF transfer, women can eat kiwifruit, which is beneficial to their health.
In vitro fertilization involves fertilizing an egg with sperm outside the body in a laboratory setting and allowing early embryonic development before transferring the embryo into the uterus for further development. This method is particularly suitable for individuals with conditions such as blocked fallopian tubes or severe male oligospermia. Generally, it is safe for women to consume kiwifruit after undergoing IVF embryo transfer. Kiwifruit contains essential nutrients including calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E, and dietary fiber. It offers benefits such as promoting intestinal health, relieving thirst, increasing urine output, and providing antioxidant effects. These properties help women replenish necessary nutrients and support healthy fetal development. However, women's bodies are relatively weak and their immune systems compromised after the procedure. Therefore, they should avoid eating excessive amounts of kiwifruit or consuming it straight from the refrigerator, as cold food may irritate the gastrointestinal tract and lead to abdominal pain, diarrhea, or even threaten the pregnancy with symptoms such as threatened miscarriage.
Women should develop healthy lifestyle habits, such as going to bed early and waking up early, ensuring adequate sleep, maintaining a relaxed mood, avoiding stress and anxiety, getting sufficient rest, and avoiding overexertion.
