What should I pay attention to after having an abortion?

Artificial abortion is something that some women may face in life. Artificial abortion surgery is very harmful to patients. Therefore, if the post-abortion care is not proper, it may leave many difficult-to-cure diseases. Today, let’s take a look at what we should pay attention to after an abortion.

Women should pay attention to the following matters after having an abortion:
1. Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition . Women should pay attention to proper bed rest after abortion. It is best to have a two-week rest period. They should not do heavy physical labor within half a month to avoid affecting the recovery of the body. At the same time, they should also pay attention to proper nutritional supplementation in diet. They can eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins to promote the recovery of injured organs and improve the body's resistance. They should avoid eating greasy, cold, spicy and irritating foods to avoid affecting the recovery of the body.
2. Pay attention to hygiene <br/>After an abortion, women should also pay attention to keeping their vulva clean. Since the cervix does not completely close in a short period of time after an abortion, the endometrium also needs a repair process. If women do not pay attention to hygiene during this period, they are very likely to be invaded and infected by bacteria, causing some gynecological inflammation. Therefore, women should pay attention to keeping their vulva clean after an abortion, and should not take a bath before the vaginal bleeding is clean, and should not have sex within one month to prevent infection.
3. Pay attention to bleeding conditions . Women may experience vaginal bleeding after an abortion. Generally, it is a small amount of bleeding and it will stop on its own within 3-10 days. If the amount of vaginal bleeding after an abortion is greater than the menstrual volume, lasts too long, or is accompanied by abnormal symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain, and vaginal discharge with an odor, you should go to the hospital in time to avoid greater harm.
4. Pay attention to sexual life . Women should not have sexual intercourse within one month after an abortion. After resuming sexual life, they should pay attention to adhere to scientific and reliable contraceptive measures to avoid repeated miscarriages.
The above article introduces the things that women need to pay attention to after having an abortion. I hope it will be helpful to you.
