Is the first abortion harmful to the body? Pay attention to these 4 things after the first abortion

Artificial abortion is the use of artificial surgery to stop pregnancy. This situation mostly occurs when there are problems with fetal development, or the pregnant woman's body is not suitable for continuing pregnancy. Artificial abortion has a great impact on the body, so it is necessary to ensure the health of the pregnant woman and the health of the fetus in normal times. So is the first abortion harmful to the body? Let's talk about it below.

Some women regard abortion as a routine remedy, and even have two abortions in three months. They don't know that from pregnancy to childbirth, many subtle changes will occur in various systems in the body, and the body has already been fully prepared for the ten months of pregnancy. Only then will there be a subsequent pregnancy. If artificial termination of pregnancy (abortion) occurs, the endocrine level in the body will drop sharply, which is a potential hidden blow to the human body. If repeated abortions occur, the double blow suffered by the body will gradually cause the functions of various aspects to decline, and premature aging will occur.

Abortion is something women don't want to face, but it is often a reality that they have to face. Almost every woman will have at least one abortion experience during her childbearing years. Since you have to do it, you should protect yourself better, because it is harmful to your body after all.

1. Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition. After the abortion, you should rest in bed for 2-3 days, and then you can get out of bed and move around, gradually increasing the activity time. Do not engage in heavy physical labor or cold water labor within half a month after the abortion to avoid catching cold. Pay attention to increasing nutrition, enhancing the body's resistance to disease, and promoting the early repair of damaged organs. After the abortion, you should eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up the body's recovery.

2. Keep the vulva clean and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse. The cervix has not completely closed after the abortion, and the endometrium also has a process of repair. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. The sanitary napkins and underwear used should be washed and changed frequently. Do not sit in the bath within half a month after the operation to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If you have sexual intercourse too early after the abortion, it is easy to cause acute endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease, and it can also cause secondary infertility. Therefore, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month after the abortion.

3. Observe the bleeding. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after abortion, or is accompanied by lower abdominal pain, fever, leucorrhea that is turbid and has a foul odor, etc., you should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination and treatment in time.

4. Adhere to good contraception. After abortion, the ovarian and uterine functions gradually recover, and the ovaries produce eggs on schedule. If you do not adhere to good contraception, you will get pregnant again soon. Therefore, after abortion, you should choose reliable contraceptive measures as soon as possible. Abortion can only be used as a remedial surgery after contraception fails. You must insist on contraception as the main measure and cannot use abortion as a contraceptive measure.

The question of whether the first abortion is harmful to the body has been well answered above. Any surgery or other treatment methods will cause harm. As long as you take care of your body after the treatment and don't let such things happen again, the harm to the body will not be too great. If you don't take care of yourself, then the harm to the body will be very great.
