Curettage is generally used for abortion, and can also be used to treat proliferative diseases. This surgery causes great damage to the endometrium, and requires long-term bed rest after the surgery, and persistent care is required to promote recovery. What are the precautions after curettage?
1. Avoid overwork <br/>Cleaning the uterus causes great trauma to the body. You need to stay in bed after the operation, and you cannot do housework or overwork. You need to stay in bed for at least three days before you can get up and move around normally. If you get up and move around right after the operation, it is easy to cause endometriosis, which will induce bleeding and even cause uterine contraction and severe pain.
2. No sexual intercourse within one month after surgery <br/>No sexual intercourse within one month after surgery. Sexual intercourse after surgery can cause uterine cavity infection and vaginal inflammation, and is not conducive to the recovery of the endometrium. Sexual intercourse can be resumed only when there are no obvious bleeding symptoms one month after surgery. If there are still bleeding symptoms, it is best to delay sexual intercourse.
3. Keep the vulva clean <br/>After the operation, the patient will have mild vaginal bleeding, which is normal. Just pay attention to cleanliness. It is recommended to use special private cleaning wipes to wipe the vulva every day, and change and disinfect underwear every day. Keeping the vulva clean can effectively prevent vaginal infection and cervical inflammation.
4. Regular check-ups <br/>If you have to rest in bed for ten days after the curettage and the bleeding continues, you need to go to the hospital for a check-up. If you experience abdominal pain and fever during the recuperation at home, you should also do a blood test in time, so that inflammation can be detected at an early stage. If you ignore the condition and fail to control the inflammation in time, it may cause endometrial ulceration.
