How to avoid gynecological diseases after abortion

After an abortion, the patient will be weak and have low resistance. To avoid the occurrence of gynecological diseases after an abortion, they should avoid heavy physical labor, strictly prohibit sexual intercourse within one month after the operation, pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid sitting baths, adjust their diet to ensure adequate nutrition, etc.

Avoid heavy physical labor

After the abortion, the patient should rest in bed for 2 to 3 days. He or she can then get out of bed and move around, gradually increasing the activity time. Do not engage in heavy physical labor within half a month to avoid reinjury to the wound and affecting recovery.

No sexual intercourse for one month

Patients should strictly refrain from sexual intercourse within one month after an abortion. At this time, the damage to the endometrium has not yet fully recovered, and there may still be local damage. The ability to resist bacteria is low. Having sexual intercourse too early will allow bacteria that enter the vagina to easily infect the endometrium, leading to the occurrence of gynecological diseases such as endometritis.

Keep your vulva clean

After surgery, patients need to keep their vulva clean and hygienic, wash it with warm water 1-2 times a day, and change sanitary napkins and underwear frequently. Tip: If you find abdominal pain or bleeding more than menstrual volume, please go to the hospital in time.

Avoid sitz baths

Patients should avoid sitting baths within two weeks after abortion or before vaginal bleeding has stopped, so as to prevent unclean water from entering the vagina, causing bacteria to invade the uterus, causing infection, and leading to gynecological diseases.

Diet care

Pay attention to nutritional matching in diet and ensure protein intake, such as eggs, milk, fish, poultry, meat, etc. Eat more vegetables and fruits, but eat less raw, cold, and hard food to avoid irritating the intestines and causing indigestion, which is beneficial to the patient's postoperative recovery.
