How to take good care of women after abortion? Several hazards of abortion should be known

What should a woman do after an abortion? At this time, the female body is relatively fragile. If proper care is not taken, it is easy to leave lasting effects. Let us learn about the specific measures below.

How to take care of women after abortion

1. Pay attention to bleeding

If bleeding lasts for more than one week after an abortion, and is accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

2. Strengthen nutrition and pay attention to rest

After an abortion, you should rest in bed for 2-3 days, then you can get out of bed and do some proper activities, and gradually increase the activity time. Do not do heavy physical labor within half a month after an abortion, and avoid contact with cold water. It takes about a month to recover after an abortion. Therefore, you should pay attention to increasing nutrition, taking in enough protein and vitamins, enhancing the body's resistance to diseases, and promoting the early repair of injured organs.

3. Adhere to contraception

After painless abortion, the ovarian and uterine functions gradually recover, and the ovaries produce eggs on schedule. If you do not adhere to contraception, you will soon become pregnant again.

Therefore, after painless abortion, you should choose reliable contraceptive measures as soon as possible. Painless abortion can only be used as a remedial surgery as a last resort after contraceptive failure. Contraception must be the main method, and painless abortion cannot be used as a contraceptive measure.

4. Keep the vulva clean and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse

After painless abortion, the cervix has not completely closed, and the endometrium also has a process of repair. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic, and 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 painless abortion, it is easy to cause acute endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and secondary infertility. Therefore, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month after painless abortion.

The dangers of abortion

There are two types of abortion: suction curettage and forceps curettage. The former is suitable for relatively small embryos within 10-12 weeks, and the latter is suitable for embryos whose bones have been partially formed.

The bacterial environment in the female vagina can balance itself, and the endometrium can also secrete bactericidal factors to resist external bacterial infection. The reproductive organs of adolescent girls are still developing, and this mechanism is not perfect. No matter which type of abortion is used, it will damage their endometrium and cervix. The chance of infection is much greater than that of adult women, and it is more likely to cause fallopian tube obstruction or pelvic inflammation.

Repeated abortions can cause obvious and hidden damage to the body, leading to functional decline and premature aging. Premature ovarian failure can affect the secretion of estrogen and sexual function, which in turn affects the skin texture, complexion and body shape, causing women to have yellow faces, bloated bodies, dry vaginas and enter the aging stage early.

Multiple abortions may also lead to infertility. It is best not to have more than three abortions in a lifetime. Although the relationship between the number of abortions and infertility varies according to individual constitutions, each abortion will cause damage to the functional layer of the endometrium. Even if you can get pregnant again after multiple abortions, it will affect the health of the fetus.

Abortion is still very harmful to women. If you are not planning to have children, please use contraception in your daily life to avoid accidents and make your sex life more enjoyable.
