Women should keep warm and clean after abortion

There are two care measures that women should pay special attention to after abortion: keeping warm and local cleaning.

1. Keep warm

The female reproductive system is very sensitive to cold, especially after abortion, you should pay more attention to keeping warm, avoid the invasion of rheumatism and cold evil, and prevent the occurrence of soreness, pain or numbness in the limbs and joints, otherwise it will easily affect the contraction and recovery of the uterus, increase the chance of infection and even cause gynecological diseases, affecting future fertility. Specific warming measures are as follows.

First of all, after the abortion, the living environment must be kept warm and with moderate humidity to avoid cold and dampness, and it must be closed to prevent the invasion of drafts through doors, windows, corridors, etc.

Secondly, you must not wash your hands, hair, or take a bath with cold water after the operation. You should also use warm water when washing clothes or vegetables. If conditions do not permit and the water temperature is too cold, you can wear plastic gloves.

Again, if you exercise a lot and sweat a lot after the operation, you must pay more attention to keeping warm and change clothes in a warm room in time to avoid cold and wind, which will cause trouble in your future life.

2. Cleaning

Abortion surgery will cause certain trauma to the female endometrium, causing the cervix to become loose, and the original mucus plug in the cervix will be removed, losing its function of defending against bacterial invasion. However, the new mucus plug has not yet formed. If you do not pay attention to the cleaning of the vulva, it is easy for bacteria to invade and infect the entire uterine cavity. Specific cleaning methods include washing the vagina with warm water every day; taking a shower instead of a sitz bath; changing menstrual sanitary napkins frequently, etc.
