Is it not recommended to eat sesame oil after transplantation?
Generally speaking, the statement that "sesame oil should not be consumed after transplantation" is overly absolute. Most transplant patients can safely consume sesame oil after surgery. The detailed analysis is as follows:
In most transplant surgeries, such as liver or kidney transplants, patients can moderately include sesame oil in their diet during the postoperative recovery phase. Sesame oil is a nutrient-rich food containing essential vitamins and minerals, providing nutritional support that helps promote physical recovery. In such cases, consuming sesame oil can be beneficial, although intake should be controlled to avoid excessive greasiness, which may impair digestion.
However, for embryo transfer procedures such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), some believe that sesame oil has qi-moving properties that might increase the risk of miscarriage, so consumption may not be recommended during the early stages. Nevertheless, it is generally considered safe to consume normally during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.
When in doubt, patients should consult their doctor and follow medical advice to appropriately manage their diet.
