Exercise and IVF

Exercise and IVF

A healthy life is very important during the treatment of IVF. Exercise keeps a person fit and fine, but one must know what all exercises are to be performed and which are not to be done while receiving fertility treatments. SCI IVF Hospital and its team headed by Dr. Shivani Sachdev Gour-one of the finest IVF specialists in Delhi-will guide on how to stay active along with improving chances of success for IVF. 

Benefits of Exercise during IVF

Various exercises during the treatments of IVF are very popular. Exercises can help in maintaining the weight in normal range, reduce the stress levels and also offer a good flow of blood. Thus, these factors might increase the chances of conception. Hence, the patients are told to stay physically active within reason at the IVF centre in Delhi. Light activities such as walking, yoga, and swimming will keep the body in shape and maintain healthy hormonal balance and improve the blood flow to the reproductive organs.

Dos: What Exercises Are Safe During IVF?

Low-Impact Activities

Activities involving walking, cycling, and swimming are the best fitness options that don’t stress the body so much. These exercises also are non-weight-bearing and hence easy on the joints, keeping the body active without harming the reproductive system in the long run.

Yoga and Pilate

Secondly, yoga and Pilates both focus selectively on flexibility, breathing, and relaxation skills that are ideal for reducing one’s stress during IVF treatments. These poses can often help improve one’s circulation and are good ways to relax your mind and body. It is best to consult with the consultant of your IVF treatment in Delhi over the specific yoga poses that may be more indicated at this time.

Resistance Training

Light strength training can be helpful in developing and maintaining necessary muscle tone for one’s all-rounded health. It is, however very important that one does not do any heavy lifting but instead works out on lighter weights or resistance exercises to avoid excessive strain.

Stretching

It is light stretching to keep flexibility throughout IVF treatment without muscle tension and stiffness. The stretching exercises also enhance the circulation of blood thereby helping in a person’s reproductive health.

Don’ts: Exercises to be Avoided During IVF

High-Intensity or High-Impact Exercises

It is best to completely avoid high-intensity exercises like running, jumping, or extreme cardio in nature, especially in the early stages. These types of high-impact exercises are very stressful on the body and can interfere with the delicate hormonal balance necessary for one’s IVF treatment.

Contact Sports

Sports like basketball and soccer, among others involving extra contact or even slight chances of injury, should be avoided. Such activities increase the trauma to the abdomen, which is quite sensitive during IVF.

Excessive Heat Activities

It is recommended to avoid hot yoga, the use of saunas, and exposure to great, intense heat because these forms of heat raise the temperature within the body. The temperature increase may have a negative effect on the egg and sperm quality; thus, it would likely affect the outcomes of IVF.

Managing Infertility and Stress through IVF

It is not just physical fitness but mental fitness counts a lot for the success of the IVF treatment procedure. Regular exercise, especially yoga and other exercises, helps to reduce stress, thereby helping to create a better body environment regarding hormones for conception. One such method of improving fertility outcomes is managing stress in the case of IVF treatment.

Cost of IVF in Delhi

Many people may be apprehensive about the cost of IVF in Delhi. However, at SCI IVF Hospital, we are transparent with the prices wherein there is no hidden cost for any procedure. We understand how expensive fertility treatments can be; we thus make every attempt to make the process as cost-effective as possible while ensuring the highest possible standard of care.

Exercise is great in a normal healthy lifestyle, but with IVF treatment, you most definitely must pay extra attention to the kind of physical activities you embark on. At this time, it would be best to just focus on very low-impact exercises.
