Many young women lack the awareness of contraception and have no plans to have children for the time being. Soon after, they find themselves pregnant. Little do they know that abortion is very harmful to women. Don’t think that you can rest assured after abortion and not care about your body. This is a very wrong concept. So let’s take a look at what to pay attention to after abortion?
1. Observe the bleeding situation . If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after abortion, or is even accompanied by lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, and other abnormal symptoms, you should go to the hospital for follow-up examination and treatment in time.
2. Adhere to good contraception <br/>After abortion, the ovarian and uterine functions gradually recover, and the ovaries ovulate on schedule. If you do not adhere to good contraception, you will get pregnant again soon. Therefore, after abortion, you should choose reliable contraceptive measures as soon as possible. Abortion can only be used as a remedial surgery after contraception fails. Contraception must be the main method, and abortion cannot be used as a contraceptive measure.
3. Pay attention to personal hygiene <br/>After abortion, female reproductive organs are very susceptible to infection, so special attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the vulva. Do not take a sitz bath for half a month or go to a public swimming pool to prevent dirty water from flowing into the vagina and causing bacterial infection. Wash the vulva every day, change sanitary napkins frequently, and change underwear every day.
4. Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition . After the abortion, you should rest in bed for 2-3 days, and then you can get out of bed and move around, gradually increasing the activity time. In the first half month after the abortion, do not engage in heavy physical labor or work in cold water to avoid catching cold. Pay attention to increasing nutrition, enhancing the body's resistance to disease, and promoting the early repair of damaged organs. After the abortion, you should eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up the body's recovery.
5. Keep the vulva clean and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse . After the abortion, the cervix has not yet completely closed, and the endometrium also has a process of repair. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. The sanitary napkins and underwear used should be washed and changed frequently. Do not sit in the bath within half a month after the operation to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If you have sexual intercourse too early after the abortion, it is easy to cause acute endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and secondary infertility. Therefore, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month after the abortion.
