Can I eat watermelon during IVF ovarian stimulation?

In general, watermelon can usually be consumed during the IVF stimulation phase, but intake should be controlled. The specific analysis is as follows:

Watermelon is a common fruit in daily life and contains abundant nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, glucose, and amino acids, which help supplement nutrition. Moreover, due to its high water content, moderate consumption of watermelon can promote urination, helping the body excrete excess salt and thereby alleviating symptoms of bodily swelling. In addition, watermelon's sweetness and refreshing taste can improve mood and bring a sense of relaxation and pleasure.

Although it is safe to eat, watermelon is considered a cold-natured fruit in traditional terms, and excessive consumption may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea or abdominal pain. Furthermore, watermelon has a relatively high sugar content, and overconsumption may negatively affect blood sugar control.

Patients undergoing IVF stimulation can also moderately consume other fresh fruits and vegetables, such as apples, oranges, and kiwifruit. The vitamins and minerals they contain are beneficial for overall health. During this period, it’s also important to maintain a positive mood, healthy sleep patterns, and close cooperation with doctors, all of which contribute to better treatment outcomes.
