Precautions for post-abortion care in winter

The temperature is lower in winter, and patients are weak and have low resistance after abortion surgery. They should keep warm, avoid colds, get enough rest, adjust their diet structure reasonably, and pay attention to personal hygiene to avoid postoperative infection.

Keep warm

The temperature is lower in winter, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large. After an abortion, the patient's body resistance decreases and it is easy to be infected with colds. They should avoid going out or go out as little as possible. At the same time, they should pay attention to keeping warm, avoid catching a cold, avoid prolonged contact with cold water, and prevent the joints from being invaded by wind, cold, and dampness, which may lead to joint diseases.

Get enough rest

After an abortion, the patient is weak and should rest in bed and avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time, otherwise it will easily cause pain in the waist, back, knees and ankles. In winter, after an abortion, the patient should not go out for strenuous exercise or heavy physical labor to avoid damage to the body, which will make it more difficult to recover.

Pay attention to hygiene

After an abortion, patients need to pay attention to personal hygiene, take frequent baths, change sanitary napkins and underwear, but avoid sitting baths to prevent sewage from flowing into the vagina and causing infection, leading to acute endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease and other reproductive system inflammations.

Diet care

After abortion in winter, the first thing to do is to ensure the supply of high-quality protein, adequate vitamins and inorganic salts to promote faster recovery of the body. At the same time, sufficient iron should be supplemented to prevent anemia. The diet should be light, and greasy, raw and cold food should not be eaten.
