Does abortion hurt your body? 3 things you must know about abortion

Does abortion harm the body? Generally speaking, although 1-2 abortion operations will have an impact on the body, it cannot be said to be "harmful". Making appropriate preparations for abortion and taking precautions after the operation will minimize the impact of the operation.

Although abortion only takes a few minutes, it should be noted that frequent abortions are harmful to the body. In the short term, there will be some complications, such as bleeding, infection, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, menstrual disorders, etc.; multiple operations will also make the uterine wall gradually thinner, leading to infertility. In addition, from pregnancy to termination of pregnancy, the disorder of hormone levels in women's bodies will affect the growth of breasts, acinar atrophy, and then cause various breast diseases.

1. The earlier the abortion, the better

Medically, artificial abortion refers to the termination of pregnancy within 24 weeks of pregnancy. If the pregnancy period is less than 3 months, the operation is relatively simple, and you can recover to normal physical condition after a few days of rest. However, the best time to do an abortion is within 35 to 50 days after pregnancy, because if the operation is performed too early, it may fail due to the failure to obtain the newly developed and small embryo.

However, if the fetus has been in the mother's body for more than 3 months, the situation will be much more complicated, and ordinary abortion surgery will not be able to cope with it. Induction of labor will be required, and the risk of personal injury will increase accordingly. Therefore, it is not appropriate to have an abortion too late.

2. Do not take medication to induce abortion privately

You must go to a specialized medical reproductive health care institution to consult about medical abortion. Do not take medicine to have an abortion privately or arbitrarily. Compared with surgery, medical abortion does not require anesthesia or surgery, and its complete abortion success rate can reach 95%, but bleeding may last for 1 to 2 weeks or more, and the embryonic tissue on the endometrium also takes a certain amount of time to be completely discharged.

Compared with medical abortion, surgical abortion can remove the embryonic tissue at one time, the vaginal bleeding time is shorter, and there is a doctor's careful care, so it is relatively safe.

3. Pay attention to rest after miscarriage

Whether it is a surgical abortion or a medical abortion, it will cause a certain degree of damage to the endometrium. In addition, after a miscarriage, it takes 6 weeks for all reproductive organs of women to return to their pre-pregnancy state. What cannot be ignored is that when a woman has a miscarriage, her body will be exhausted, her physical strength will decrease, and she will bleed. Therefore, after a miscarriage, you should not have sex immediately. It is more appropriate to have sex 2 months after the miscarriage to prevent infection of the uterine cavity.

After a miscarriage, the body needs to rest, mainly to relieve pain, restore strength and avoid infection. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement proper nutrition, such as chicken, eggs, milk and soy products rich in protein, iron and vitamin B12, and avoid eating spicy or cold irritating foods.
