Precautions after curettage of endometrial thickening

Female friends must know about diseases such as endometriosis. We remind you to pay attention to the symptoms of endometriosis and take the initiative to check and treat them. According to statistics, some symptoms are genetic, so the number of women suffering from this disease may be about 7 times that of the general population. You need to go to the hospital regularly for a comprehensive check-up and prevent the occurrence of the disease in advance.

1. Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition. You should rest in bed for 2-3 days after the curettage. You can get out of bed and move around later, and gradually increase the activity time. Do not engage in heavy physical labor within half a month after the curettage, and avoid contact with cold water. The uterus needs about a month to recover after the curettage. Therefore, you should pay attention to increasing nutrition, taking in enough protein, enhancing the body's resistance to disease, and promoting the early repair of injured organs. After the curettage, you should eat more fish, meat, eggs, bean products, protein-rich foods, and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up the body's recovery.

2. Keep the vulva clean and hygienic, and refrain from sexual intercourse. The cervix has not yet closed after curettage, and the endometrium also has a process of repair. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. Do not take a bath in a tub within half a month after the operation to prevent unclean water from entering the vagina, causing bacterial invasion and infection. Sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month after curettage.

3. Observe the bleeding to prevent the condition from getting worse. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after curettage, and is accompanied by lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid leucorrhea with a foul odor, etc., you should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination and treatment in time.

4. Pay attention to contraception to avoid pregnancy again. After curettage, the ovarian and uterine functions gradually recover, and the ovaries ovulate on schedule. If you do not insist on taking contraception, you will get pregnant again soon. Some women get pregnant again in the same month of abortion, which has a greater impact on the body. Therefore, you should choose reliable contraceptive measures. Abortion can only be used as a remedial surgery after contraception fails. Do not use abortion as a contraceptive measure to protect women's physical and mental health.
