How should I take care of myself after abortion? Here are some things to note

Post-abortion care is mainly divided into daily care and dietary care. Daily care includes observing bleeding, taking adequate rest, adhering to contraceptive measures and taking good care of the vulva. After the operation, you need to stay in bed for 2 to 3 days, and pay special attention to the hygiene of the private parts and keep warm. In terms of diet, do not eat spicy and other irritating foods, and you should supplement more protein and vitamins. Do not eat blood-enriching foods during vaginal bleeding, such as ginseng, red dates, donkey-hide gelatin, etc.

Abortion and pregnancy are equally important. After surgery, both require adequate rest and care to ensure that the uterus recovers well and does not have a negative impact on future fertility issues. Post-abortion care mainly focuses on private care and daily care, which is also to avoid postoperative infection. So how should we care after an abortion?
1. Daily care after abortion
1. Observe the bleeding situation <br/>After the abortion surgery, pay attention to the bleeding situation. If the bleeding lasts for more than a week and is accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, turbid vaginal discharge, fever and odor, you need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
2. Pay attention to adequate rest <br/>After an abortion, you should pay more attention to rest, at least stay in bed for 2 to 3 days. After three days, you can get out of bed and exercise appropriately, and then gradually increase the time of activity. In addition, do not engage in important activities within two weeks after an abortion to avoid catching a cold; it usually takes a month to recover. During this period, you must ensure nutritional intake to enhance the body's resistance to disease.
3. Adhere to contraceptive measures <br/>After the abortion, the female reproductive organs need to gradually recover, so the ovarian function will also ovulate on time. Sexual intercourse is prohibited within one month after the operation. Sexual intercourse is allowed after one month, but contraceptive measures must be taken, otherwise there may be another accidental pregnancy, which will increase the harm to women.
4. Take good care of the vulva . After the abortion, the uterus needs a certain amount of time to completely close, and the endometrium needs to be repaired. During this period, you should pay attention to the hygiene around the genitals and do a good job of external care. You can wash the vulva with warm water 1-2 times, change sanitary napkins frequently, and keep warm; especially in summer, do not blow the air conditioner towards the body to avoid cold air entering the body. The body will be weaker after the abortion, so it is best to wear long pants and long socks.
2. Diet care after abortion <br/>After the abortion, vaginal bleeding will occur. During this period, do not eat red dates, ginseng, fungus, donkey-hide gelatin and other foods, otherwise it will cause increased vaginal bleeding. After that, you need to strengthen your nutrition. Not only should you supplement protein and vitamins, but you should also eat more blood-enriching foods. This can maintain a balanced nutrition and is conducive to the recovery of your health. In addition, do not eat spicy and sour foods, otherwise it will cause gastrointestinal discomfort. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination about 10 days after the operation.
