Why do women need to undergo B-ultrasound examination before abortion? What should women pay attention to after abortion?

In life, many women will have an artificial abortion to terminate their pregnancy when they have an unexpected pregnancy. Many women will go directly to the gynecology department for surgery when they want to have an artificial abortion, but they don’t know that before the surgery, the doctor will ask women to undergo a B-ultrasound examination. The main reasons for asking women to undergo a B-ultrasound examination are as follows.

Why do women need to undergo an ultrasound examination before having an abortion?

1. Confirmation of intrauterine or ectopic pregnancy

An ultrasound examination before an abortion can let the doctor know whether the woman has an intrauterine or ectopic pregnancy. If an abortion is performed without confirming an intrauterine or ectopic pregnancy, the gestational sac can easily rupture and bleed, endangering life, or the operation may fail due to misdiagnosis, putting the woman in danger.

2. Monitoring the size of the fetal sac

An ultrasound examination before an abortion can help check the size of the gestational sac and the number of days of pregnancy, allowing the doctor to decide whether to perform a uterine curettage or medical abortion based on the number of days of pregnancy and the size of the gestational sac.

What should women pay attention to after undergoing abortion?

1. Pay attention to your diet

After an abortion, do not consume various high-fat and greasy foods. Try to eat more easily digestible foods. Because women's gastrointestinal motility will be poor after an abortion. If these foods are frequently consumed, it will easily lead to digestive system symptoms and increase women's pain. Eat more light and nutritious foods to promote the body's resistance. While improving resistance, it can also prevent the occurrence of diseases and allow the body to recover quickly.

2. Get more rest

After an abortion, a woman's body is relatively weak. In this case, she should try to rest as much as possible, avoid overwork, and avoid physical activity. More rest can allow the body's various tissues to recover quickly. Also, pay attention to keeping the air circulating indoors to avoid bacterial growth. At this time, women's immunity is relatively weak, and too many bacteria can easily lead to infectious diseases.

3. Keep your vagina clean

There will be a small amount of vaginal bleeding after an abortion. You don't need to be too nervous at this time, just keep it clean. At the same time, because the cervix is ​​in a state of dilation after the operation, you should avoid sexual intercourse and sitting baths to prevent the cervix from being infected and avoid the occurrence of some gynecological diseases.

In general, women must pay special attention before and after an abortion. Before the operation, they should make themselves aware of some precautions and undergo an ultrasound examination under the guidance of a doctor so that the doctor can better choose an abortion method. After the operation, they should take good care of themselves in their daily life to avoid infection of the vagina and cervix, which may lead to gynecological diseases that affect the body.
