Why is recovery after medical abortion important?

Even the smallest side effect of medical abortion is likely to cause menstrual disorders, which are manifested as shortened or prolonged menstrual cycles and increased menstrual flow. For women who have not given birth, repeated use of the drug can not only easily cause infection or heavy bleeding, but may also lead to infertility, causing lifelong regrets.

In fact, whether it is surgical curettage or medical abortion, in addition to the physical damage, the hormonal changes caused by it are also difficult to detect. Physical damage can be repaired quickly, but the impact of endocrine changes on the human body cannot be recovered in a day or two. The delivery of a ripe fruit is carried out according to a certain rule, and the body has sufficient time to adapt and prepare for it. However, when pregnancy is interrupted artificially, the body's endocrine function suddenly drops sharply, and there is no slow adaptation process. This is the biggest hidden blow to the human body.

Moreover, since medical abortion can leave certain complications, the current medical regulations stipulate that medical abortion can only be used in medical care institutions with certain equipment to perform surgical curettage, anti-infection, infusion and blood transfusion treatment in cases of heavy bleeding or prolonged bleeding. Therefore, do not abuse it at home, and it should be decided by an experienced obstetrician and gynecologist based on the specific situation.

At the same time, the care after medical abortion is also very important. Although there is no damage to the device, the vaginal bleeding caused by medical abortion is heavier than the usual menstrual flow and lasts longer. Especially for incomplete abortion, it can lead to hemorrhagic anemia and cause vaginal and even pelvic infections. Therefore, care should be taken after medical abortion.

After medical abortion, you should rest for 1-2 weeks to avoid lowering your resistance and inducing other diseases; in terms of nutrition, pay attention to iron supplementation (beef, lean meat, liver, kidney, egg yolk, blood, green vegetables, and fruit are rich in iron), protein intake should be sufficient, and you should eat more foods rich in vitamins; pay attention to personal hygiene, take a shower, live in a sunny and ventilated room, and maintain a clean environment; it is best to have sex 2-3 weeks after medical abortion, and take contraceptive measures to avoid pregnancy again.
