What are the harms of abortion anesthesia to the body? What should women pay attention to after abortion

Painless abortion is very common nowadays, and most of the so-called painless abortions require the help of anesthetics. Many patients will experience some common symptoms after surgery, such as postoperative infection, gynecological diseases, etc. If the abortion anesthesia is used improperly or the postoperative care is not good, it will have a certain negative impact on the patient. It is necessary to use it with caution and do a good job of postoperative care. Everyone should take the following precautions after abortion seriously.

What are the harms of abortion anesthesia to the body?

Anesthetics are an auxiliary drug used in surgery. If anesthetics are not used, the surgery will not be painless. It will not be possible to have a painless abortion or a minimally invasive surgery. Therefore, anesthetics play a big role. However, some people are worried that anesthetics will be harmful to the body, so they dare not inject anesthetics, which may delay the time of the operation.

Currently, abortion surgeries are all minimally invasive, so anesthetics must be used during the operation. After using the anesthetic, the body will not feel pain, and the operation can be easily completed during the sleep process. Therefore, most women will use this method to terminate their pregnancy. However, some people worry that the use of anesthetics during the operation will be harmful to the human body. So what are the hazards of this anesthetic?

Local anesthetics generally have no side effects, but many hospitals operate improperly or use unreasonable injection dosages, which can easily cause acute local anesthetic poisoning and lead to cardiac arrest. This is very risky, and the most serious hazard is death, so there is a risk of death. However, the probability of such a local anesthetic reaction is very low, so generally there is no need to worry.

Many people also choose to use general anesthetics. General anesthesia is mainly used to block local pain reactions. If used by normal people, it will not harm the body. However, if a full body examination is neglected before using anesthetics, it can easily be detrimental to the body and may even affect life due to systemic reactions. Having coughing or cold symptoms before surgery may cause suffocation.

If anesthesia is used excessively, it may affect the nerves of the person and even cause paralysis of the whole body. However, hospitals are now more professional and the technology is very advanced, so they are very cautious when using anesthetics. The amount of anesthetics will be selected according to each person's weight, which can reduce the risk of anesthetics. After using anesthetics, you must take good care of your body.

Anesthetics are definitely very harmful to the human body, but we must also distinguish whether it is general anesthesia or local anesthesia. Local anesthesia generally has no effect, but if it is general anesthesia, it is easy to cause sequelae and may even have adverse physical effects. After the operation, some patients will cause vomiting and nausea due to general anesthesia.

Things to note after abortion

If you can't take good care of yourself after an abortion, it's easy to cause various gynecological diseases. What are the precautions after an abortion? You should stay in bed for 2-3 days after the abortion. Do not do heavy physical labor or cold water labor within half a month to avoid cold. You should also eat more protein and vitamin-rich foods.

1. Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition. You should rest in bed for 2-3 days after the abortion, 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, eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, bean products, and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to promote the repair of the endometrium.

2. Keep the vulva clean and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse. The cervix has not completely closed after 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 take a sitz 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 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 abortion.

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

4. Adhere to contraception. After abortion, the ovarian and uterine functions gradually recover, and the ovaries ovulate on schedule. If you do not insist on contraception, you will get pregnant again soon. Therefore, after abortion, you should choose reliable contraceptive measures as soon as possible, and you must insist on contraception as the main measure. You cannot use abortion as a contraceptive measure.
