How to care after medical abortion

Nowadays, many young female friends, who do not want to get pregnant, take the method of medical abortion, thinking that there is no surgery and no major damage, so they do not need to rest and take care of themselves. In fact, this is a wrong understanding. After medical abortion, if you do not take good care of yourself, it will cause great harm to the female body. Today we will learn about how to take care of yourself after medical abortion.

Using drugs to terminate pregnancy is a popular abortion method in the past ten to twenty years. Medical abortion seems to be simple, effective, non-invasive, and avoids possible accidents and infections during uterine cavity operations. However, if not properly cared for, it will cause great harm to the female body and even affect the future fertility of young women. Let's take a look at what care is needed after medical abortion:

After the tissue is discharged, you need to stay in the hospital for observation for 1 hour. If the vaginal bleeding is not too much, you can go home and rest.

1. Get adequate rest within 2 weeks after miscarriage, eat nutritious food, and avoid heavy physical labor.

2. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the perineum. Do not take a bath or have sexual intercourse when vaginal bleeding has not stopped.

3. In the first 2 to 3 days after abortion, the amount of vaginal bleeding is generally equivalent to or slightly more than the menstrual amount. If the amount of vaginal bleeding is heavy or persistent, seek medical attention promptly.

4. For patients who have not seen tissue discharge, observe for 2 weeks after taking the medicine. During this period, pay attention to whether there is tissue discharge during defecation and urination. Send urine for pregnancy test every week.

5. Ovulation may resume soon after miscarriage, so contraceptive measures should be taken to avoid pregnancy again.

Try to eat well, sleep well, and pay attention to increasing nutrition to enhance the body's resistance to disease and promote the early repair of damaged organs. After abortion, you should eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up your body's recovery. You should take food supplements immediately; you should not eat raw, cold, or irritating foods. If you have the conditions, you can refer to the normal postpartum diet. In addition, you should follow the taboos after childbirth in your life, do not take a bath, do not drink cold drinks, keep your clothes warm, and avoid catching a cold.
