What are the dangers of abortion and what precautions should be taken after abortion?

Many women may choose to have an abortion for various reasons after an unexpected pregnancy. Due to the existence of painless abortion, many women think that abortion has no effect on the body. In fact, abortion can cause serious damage to the female body. So what are the dangers of abortion for women?

1. The harm of abortion
1. Habitual abortion may occur <br/>Artificial abortion surgery requires the use of instruments to dilate the cervix, which can damage the muscles of the cervix, causing fiber rupture and thus loosening the cervix. When a woman becomes pregnant again, due to the relaxation of the cervix, the embryo can easily fall out of the uterus. In severe cases, habitual abortion may occur.
2. Infertility may occur <br/>During the artificial abortion operation, the cervix is ​​easily infected with bacteria, which can cause various inflammations. In addition, during the artificial abortion operation, the endometrium will be damaged. Even if the wound heals, it may cause adhesions in the uterine cavity. If the wound is small, it may cause dysmenorrhea. If the wound is large, it may also cause the fertilized egg to fail to implant. Both of the above situations may lead to female infertility.

2. Things to note after abortion
1. Pay attention to rest and nutrition <br/>After the abortion, you should pay attention to supplementing enough nutrition. You should rest for at least 15 days after the operation. If conditions do not permit, you should stay in bed for at least 2-3 days. Try to avoid physical labor and cold water within 15 days of the abortion to avoid catching a cold. In terms of diet, you can eat more fish, meat and other foods rich in protein, and also pay attention to eating more fresh vegetables to supplement vitamins.
2. Pay attention to hygiene . After the abortion, the cervix is ​​still not closed, and the endometrium needs a certain amount of time to recover. During this period, special attention should be paid to the hygiene of the vulva, and underwear should be changed and washed frequently. It is forbidden to have sex for one month after the abortion, otherwise it is easy to get infected and cause various inflammations, and in severe cases, it will cause infertility.

3. Pay attention to the bleeding . The amount of bleeding after abortion is small, generally not more than the menstrual volume. If it lasts more than 10 days and the amount of bleeding is large, and there are other abnormal symptoms such as fever and abdominal pain, you should see a doctor in time.
4. Pay attention to contraception <br/>It takes a certain amount of time for the uterus to recover after an abortion. If you do not plan to get pregnant in the near future, you should take good contraceptive measures. Even if you plan to get pregnant, you should wait at least 6 months.
