Things to note after having an abortion

After the abortion, it is very important to pay attention to the recovery of the body and prevent infection. The physical condition needs to be observed after the operation, especially vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain.

1. Postoperative observation: You need to be observed in the hospital within two hours after the painless abortion surgery. During this period, the medical staff will pay close attention to your physical condition, especially vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. If there is any abnormality, such as continuous bleeding or severe abdominal pain, you should inform the doctor immediately.

2. Rest and keep warm: You need to rest for at least two weeks after surgery. During this period, avoid overwork and try to stay in bed. Keep warm and avoid getting cold to avoid catching a cold. It takes time for the body to recover, and giving yourself a sufficient rest period will help you recover better.

3. Keep it clean: It is very important to keep the vulva clean. Wash the vulva with clean water every night and change sanitary napkins and panty liners frequently. Be careful not to use irritating detergents to avoid discomfort or infection.

4. Avoid sitz baths and sexual intercourse: Avoid sitz baths within two weeks, as sitz baths may cause bacteria to enter the reproductive tract, increasing the risk of infection. Avoid sexual intercourse within one month, as the uterus has not fully recovered and is susceptible to infection.

5. Be alert to infection symptoms: If you have fever, abdominal pain, or abnormal vaginal discharge, this may be a sign of infection. You need to go to the hospital in time for diagnosis and treatment.

6. Monitor vaginal bleeding: Vaginal bleeding usually lasts for about 7 days after surgery. If the amount of bleeding exceeds the normal menstrual volume, or lasts too long, this may be an abnormal phenomenon and you need to see a doctor as soon as possible. The doctor will give appropriate treatment according to the specific situation.

7. Psychological adjustment: Abortion surgery may have a certain impact on the psychology. Maintain a positive attitude and seek psychological counseling if necessary. Communicating with family or friends is also a good way to adjust your emotions.

8. Diet adjustment: After surgery, eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as lean meat, eggs, fresh fruits and vegetables. Avoid spicy and irritating foods to avoid adverse effects on physical recovery.

9. Regular check-ups: After an abortion, doctors usually recommend a check-up after a period of time to ensure that the body has recovered well. Regular check-ups help to detect and deal with potential problems in a timely manner.

Paying attention to these matters will not only help you recover faster, but also effectively prevent the occurrence of postoperative complications. I hope these suggestions can provide you with useful help and help you through the postoperative recovery period.
