Attention should be paid to the treatment of vaginal bleeding in patients after abortion

Patients often experience vaginal bleeding after abortion. At this time, the patient is weak and needs to pay attention to careful nursing to promote speedy recovery.

Get enough rest

Patients should pay attention to rest after abortion. They need to stay in bed for three days and gradually increase the amount and duration of activity. Do not engage in heavy physical labor and strenuous activities within half a month to avoid aggravating vaginal bleeding.

Keep warm

After the operation, patients need to keep warm and avoid contact with cold water, cold wind, etc. After the abortion, patients are weak and sweat a lot, so they need to add more clothes, avoid cold wind, do not drink cold drinks, and prevent colds, so as not to affect the body's recovery and prolong the vaginal bleeding time after the abortion.

Enhance nutrition

After abortion, patients need to supplement nutrition and take in enough protein to enhance the body's resistance to disease and promote the early repair of injured organs. Patients can eat more fish, meat, eggs, bean products, protein-rich foods, and vitamin-rich fresh vegetables and fruits to speed up the body's recovery.

Pay attention to hygiene

Patients should pay attention to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. They can wash it with warm water 1 to 2 times a day, change sanitary napkins and underwear frequently, do not take a sitz bath before vaginal bleeding has stopped, and refrain from sexual intercourse within one month to avoid bacterial invasion, infection, and aggravation of vaginal bleeding.

Observe bleeding

Patients who have vaginal bleeding for more than two weeks after abortion and who have symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea should go to the hospital for follow-up examination and treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition.
