How to care after abortion?

Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutritional supplements

You must get enough sleep after the abortion. Generally, you are advised to stay in bed for the first two or three days. You must not do heavy physical labor. You must also avoid contact with cold water. Don't rush to take a shower, because the trauma to the uterus after the abortion is very large. You must ensure rest and strengthen your nutrition. Eat more protein-rich fish, meat or eggs. Effectively help yourself enhance your body's immunity to prevent disease invasion.

Keep the vulva clean and avoid sexual intercourse

Two weeks after the operation is the recovery process of the patient's whole body system. After abortion, due to the change in the body's internal environment, infection is prone to occur. Bacteria parasitic in other parts of the body or pathogens of infection foci can also spread through blood circulation or hand contact to the reproductive tract and cause infection. The patient should take antibiotics on time after the operation, and pay attention to rest, work and rest, and avoid excessive fatigue. Sexual intercourse must be prohibited within one month, and no bathing in a tub must be done. Change toilet paper pads frequently to keep the vulva clean.

After the abortion, the cervix has not 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, and the sanitary napkins and underwear used should be washed and changed frequently. Do not sit in a bath within half a month after the operation to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection. Early sexual intercourse after the abortion can easily cause acute endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and secondary infertility.

Observe your postoperative bleeding

Generally, vaginal bleeding will not last more than a week after an abortion. If the bleeding continues a week after the abortion, and is accompanied by obvious lower abdominal pain or fever, then you must go to the hospital for a follow-up examination and treatment in time to avoid causing more unnecessary harm.

Keep a good mood and do a good job of contraception

After an abortion, you need to relax like you are in confinement. Long-term depression or anxiety will have an adverse effect on your body's recovery. It may also lead to other diseases, so it is important to take care of your mood at this time.

After surgery, the ovarian and uterine functions gradually recover, and the ovaries ovulate on schedule. If contraception is not done well, pregnancy is likely to occur again. Therefore, reliable contraceptive measures should be selected as soon as possible after surgery. Abortion can only be used as a remedial surgery after contraception fails. You should learn to focus on contraception and not use abortion as a contraceptive measure.

See a doctor to avoid worsening

Women who have had abortions by medication need to return to the hospital for a follow-up one week after taking the medicine. If the embryo is still not expelled, a B-ultrasound examination should be performed. If the pregnancy is confirmed to be continuing or the embryo has stopped developing, a curettage should be performed. Women who have had abortions generally need to be re-examined after the first menstruation is over. The main method is to judge whether the menstruation is normal and whether the uterine involution is ideal through abdominal tenderness and B-ultrasound examination.
