Artificial abortion may cause damage to the uterus, and the woman's body will be in a relatively weak state, so nutrition needs to be increased. You can eat more milk, eggs, lean meat and other protein-rich foods to improve your body's resistance and promote the repair of body organs.

2. Prevent infection:

After abortion, the cervix has not completely closed yet, so special attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the vulva, and sexual intercourse and sitting baths should be avoided to prevent bacteria from entering the uterine cavity and causing infection. Generally, after surgery, you can also take amoxicillin capsules, ampicillin capsules, indomethacin tablets and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor to prevent infection.

3. Pay attention to vaginal bleeding:

There is usually a small amount of vaginal bleeding after an artificial abortion, which generally does not exceed 7 to 10 days. If the amount of vaginal bleeding increases or the bleeding time is too long, you need to seek medical attention in time.

In addition to the above precautions, you should also pay attention to contraception. Patients should try to maintain a happy mood at ordinary times, which is conducive to physical recovery.
