Women should be careful of the 6 major hazards of abortion. Women should also pay attention to 4 things after abortion.

Women should be careful of the following six hazards when having an abortion

1. Endometriosis

Repeated suction of uterine cavity contents may cause adhesion of the uterine cavity and cervical canal, and may also cause intrauterine blood accumulation or menstrual blood to flow back into the abdominal cavity, causing endometriosis and cyclical lower abdominal pain.

2. Long-term complications

Such as chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, abnormal menstruation, secondary infertility, and endometriosis.

3. Uterine perforation, life-threatening

During pregnancy, the uterine wall becomes soft and thin. Multiple pregnancies and multiple abortions can easily pierce the soft and thin uterine wall, causing uterine perforation and endangering life.

4. Complications during subsequent pregnancy

Infertility, high rates of late miscarriage, high rates of premature birth, high perinatal mortality, increased rates of antepartum and postpartum bleeding, and increased neonatal hemolytic disease.

5. Amenorrhea

Continuous abortions will damage the basal layer of the endometrium repeatedly, causing the functional layer to be unable to grow again. At this time, although the ovaries are fully functional and ovulate on time every month, the functional layer of the endometrium cannot regenerate after shedding, so menstruation will not occur, resulting in amenorrhea.

6. Dystocia and retained placenta during subsequent pregnancy

Repeated abortions often require scraping of the endometrium. The more times the scraping is done, the more damage the endometrium suffers. When you want to get pregnant again, placenta implantation and adhesion are more likely to occur, resulting in dystocia and retained placenta.

Take good care of your body after abortion

1. Pay attention to the bleeding

After undergoing a painless abortion, women should pay attention to bleeding. If vaginal bleeding or even abnormal symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea occurs, they should go to the hospital for follow-up examination and treatment in time.

2. Bathing and sexual intercourse are prohibited

Prohibiting bathing and sexual intercourse is one of the postoperative care for painless abortion. After the operation, the woman's uterus will be damaged to a certain extent, and it is generally difficult to recover. Therefore, during this period, women should stay away from sexual intercourse and bathing to avoid infection and damage to their health.

3. Pay attention to genital hygiene

Pay special attention to the hygiene of the vagina during abortion, because the cervix has not yet completely closed and the endometrium has a process of repair. During this period, pay special attention to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic, wash and change sanitary napkins and underwear frequently, and do not sit in a bath within half a month after the operation to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection.

4. Eat a healthy diet

Paying attention to a healthy diet is also one of the postoperative care for painless abortion. After the operation, women should pay special attention to their diet, not only to the nutritional combination of food, but also to ensure the full absorption of nutrients such as protein. In addition, women should often eat foods rich in vitamins, such as fresh vegetables and fruits.
