Can I take medicine for a cold after an abortion? Taboos for women after an abortion

After women have had an abortion, experts will advise them to rest and replenish their nutrition after returning home. Rest is particularly important after an abortion. However, many women still don't pay much attention to rest after an abortion. They always think that they are in good health but don't know that their body's resistance is very weak at this time. As a result, they may catch a cold, but most of them dare not take medicine, fearing that taking medicine will affect their future fertility. So can you take medicine if you catch a cold after an abortion?

Gynecologists say: After an abortion, the body's resistance is reduced and colds often occur. You can take cold medicine, because conventional cold and anti-inflammatory medicines are harmless, and anti-inflammatory medicines are taken right after an abortion, and these anti-inflammatory medicines act on the whole body. Therefore, it is not a big deal to take cold medicine after an abortion. However, if the situation has not improved, you must go to the hospital for a check-up to see if it is due to physical weakness caused by the abortion.

In addition, experts also remind that although abortion is a "small confinement", it should be taken care of in the same way as a "long confinement" for full-term delivery. You should eat nutritious and easily digestible foods such as eggs, milk, ribs, chicken, and fish. It is forbidden to wash your hair, bathe, wash your hands, or wash clothes and vegetables with cold water, otherwise the stimulation of cold water can induce arthritis, leaving behind joint and muscle pain in the cold parts. After the operation, you should pay special attention to hygiene, change and wash your underwear frequently, wash your vulva every day, and change and disinfect toilet paper frequently. If the blood is not clean, it is absolutely forbidden to irrigate the vagina and take a sitz bath to avoid ascending infection. Sexual life is prohibited within 4 weeks after the operation. After resuming life, you should insist on contraception.

I hope the above introduction will be helpful to you.

Gynecologists at the gynecology hospital also reminded: Although abortion is only a minor operation, it is harmful to the body. You must follow the doctor's instructions to do all the related body care work after the operation to ensure your body recovers as soon as possible. If you feel any discomfort, you must go to the hospital for a follow-up examination.
