Pay attention to 3 aspects of care after abortion

Abortion can help women with unexpected pregnancy relieve their worries. No matter what kind of abortion surgery is performed, it will cause a certain degree of damage to the female body. Women must take good care of the following three aspects after the abortion.

1. Keep the vulva clean and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse

The cervix is ​​not completely closed in the first period after abortion, and this period is also the most susceptible to infection, so strict vaginal care measures should be taken. During this period, attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic, washing and changing underwear frequently, and not taking a sitz bath for half a month after surgery to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If you have sex too early after abortion, it is easy to cause acute endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease, and then secondary infertility.

2. Improve nutrition and take rest

Nutrition is the material basis for strengthening the patient's physique and accelerating tissue repair, while adequate rest is an important guarantee for the patient's physical recovery. Both are indispensable. Patients should consume foods rich in protein, such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products. They can also eat more symptomatic diet therapy for nourishing blood and relieving pain in menstruation. After the abortion, they should rest in bed for 2-3 days. When they can get out of bed and move around, they can gradually increase their activity time and do some simple labor within their ability.

3. Observe the bleeding

There will be vaginal bleeding after abortion. Generally, vaginal bleeding will gradually decrease and stop within 3-7 days. However, if the bleeding lasts for more than 2 weeks after the operation, accompanied by abnormal symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for further examination and treatment.
