What should you pay attention to when having medical abortion?

Medical abortion is not very simple. In addition to the limitations of the drug itself, there are medical requirements for the selection of patients and the standardized use of drugs. Therefore, the precautions after medical abortion are something that everyone who has a medical abortion must know.

Precautions after medical abortion mainly include:

No matter how much bleeding occurs, sexual intercourse is prohibited before menstruation. This is because the cervix is ​​in a relaxed state during medical abortion, which weakens the ability of tissue bacteria to enter the uterine cavity. At the same time, the blood sinuses are open after the embryonic tissue is peeled off, making them susceptible to bacterial infection.

Do not take a bath, do vaginal douching, or swim within one month after medical abortion.

The sanitary napkins and toilet paper used must be qualified products; sanitary napkins should be changed frequently; do not wear underwear made of synthetic fiber materials; underwear should be changed and washed every day.

If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than 7 days, antibiotics should be taken under the guidance of a doctor to prevent infection. If bleeding continues for more than two weeks, the cause should be investigated and a curettage should be performed if necessary.

Anyone who undergoes uterine curettage due to failed medical abortion, incomplete abortion, or heavy bleeding must take antibiotics after the operation.

After medical abortion, you should also pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue. You can take blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs such as motherwort paste to promote uterine contraction, expel embryonic tissue, reduce vaginal bleeding, and shorten bleeding time.

Pay attention to dietary adjustments. After medical abortion, you should eat more high-quality protein to strengthen your body, but don't eat too much greasy food to prevent it from irritating your stomach.
