How many days is the best to rest after a miscarriage? See what the doctor says

Many women will choose to have an abortion to solve the problem after an unexpected pregnancy, but women also need to rest after an abortion, just like giving birth, because the uterus will be damaged after an abortion and needs to be recuperated. So how many days of rest is most appropriate after an abortion?

Generally, you need to rest for half a month or a month after abortion, which is called "small confinement" in folk culture. However, since many women still have to work, it is impossible to rest for such a long time. However, even if you cannot rest for such a long time, you should rest for at least three days. At the same time, you should not engage in heavy physical labor and avoid contact with cold water within half a month after abortion.

1. You should rest for 1-2 weeks after abortion to avoid lowering your resistance and inducing other diseases. You can get out of bed and move around during the rest period, but it is recommended to do so on the third day after the operation, and then gradually increase the activity time.

2. Pay attention to increasing nutrition, enhancing the body's resistance to disease, and promoting the early repair of damaged organs. Iron supplementation is mainly needed. You can eat beef, lean meat, liver, kidney, egg yolk, blood, vegetables, and fruits, which are rich in iron. Protein intake should also be sufficient. Eat more vegetables and other foods rich in vitamins, and eat less spicy and irritating foods.

3. Pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the vulva clean, take a shower, live in a sunny and ventilated room, keep the environment clean, do not engage in heavy physical labor or cold water labor within half a month, and it is best to have regular checkups. Before the menstrual period, it is forbidden to have sexual intercourse, sit baths, vaginal douching and medication. It is best to wait a month before going to work.

If you really don't have time, you should take at least one week. On the third day after rest, you should get out of bed and move around. You can't do physical work or cold water work within half a month. During the rest period, you should eat more iron-rich foods to replenish your blood. If possible, it is best to go for a follow-up check.
