What health care measures should women take after abortion?

Women must not take it lightly after an abortion and should take good health care measures during the recovery period to prevent unnecessary damage to the body.

1. Diet adjustment

After an abortion, women should strengthen their dietary adjustments just like they do during the confinement period, and consume more nutritious and easily digestible foods such as eggs, milk, ribs, chicken, fish, etc.

2. Keep warm

After undergoing an abortion, women should pay special attention to keeping warm. They should avoid washing their hair or taking a bath with cold water for one month to prevent cold water stimulation from inducing diseases such as arthritis.

3. Pay attention to hygiene

After an abortion, women should pay more attention to local hygiene, change and wash underwear frequently, and clean the vulva with clean water every day. It should be noted that if the vaginal blood has not been cleared after the operation, sitting baths or vaginal irrigation should be prohibited to avoid ascending infection.

4. Moderate sex life

Sexual intercourse should be strictly prohibited within 4 weeks after abortion to avoid unnecessary local damage to women. Even if sexual intercourse can be resumed after 4 weeks, contraceptive measures should be taken. It is best not to get pregnant again within 1 year.

5. Prevent complications

Generally speaking, if the artificial abortion operation is carried out strictly in accordance with the operating procedures, the incidence of postoperative complications is low, but there is a possibility of complications. Women should always pay attention to their physical changes after the operation. Once vaginal bleeding occurs, such as menstrual bleeding, and it continues, this may be caused by incomplete abortion or combined infection. You should go to the hospital for treatment in time.
