Precautions for women before and after abortion surgery

Abortion surgery is very harmful to women's physical and mental health. They should take good care of themselves before and after the operation, take care of their bodies, avoid fatigue, and improve their nutrition.

1. Choose the right time for surgery

The right time should be taken for abortion. Generally speaking, it is best to do it within 3 months after pregnancy. At this time, the fetus has not yet formed, the uterus is not too large, and the muscles of the uterine wall are thicker, so the embryo is easy to be sucked out. In addition, the operation time is short and the amount of bleeding is small, which is conducive to the body's recovery after the operation. However, the operation time should not be too early. If the pregnancy time is too short and the embryo is too small, it may cause missed suction or repeated suction, which will increase the pain of the pregnant woman.

2. Pay attention to personal hygiene

After the abortion, you should pay attention to the hygiene of the vulva. You can wash it with warm water twice a day and change sanitary napkins frequently. Because there is new trauma to the uterus and vaginal bleeding, retrograde infection is prone to occur. Therefore, bathing is prohibited before the blood is clean.

3. Take breaks

Abortion surgery is very damaging. Women should rest in bed for 2-3 days after surgery, then slowly get out of bed and move around, gradually increasing their activity time. Do not engage in heavy physical labor within half a month after surgery and avoid contact with cold water.

4. Prohibition of sexual intercourse between spouses

Sexual intercourse is prohibited after medical abortion, because the cervix is ​​in a relaxed state during medical abortion, and bacteria can easily invade the uterine cavity and cause infection. During sexual intercourse, bacteria hidden in the male foreskin and bacteria in the female vulva, vagina, and cervix can cause infection or aggravate uterine cavity infection, so sexual intercourse is prohibited within 1 to 2 weeks after the operation.
