What should you pay attention to after negative pressure aspiration?

Vacuum aspiration refers to the use of a suction tube inserted into the uterine cavity to suck out the embryonic tissue with negative pressure to terminate the pregnancy. It is mainly suitable for those who want to terminate the pregnancy within 10 weeks of pregnancy without contraindications; those who are not suitable for continuing the pregnancy for some reason within 10 weeks of pregnancy. At the same time, patients need to pay attention to the following aspects after the operation to promote recovery and reduce the occurrence of complications.

1. Postoperative observation

Rest in the observation room for 1 to 2 hours after the operation, pay attention to vaginal bleeding and other conditions. If there is no abnormality, you can leave the hospital and return home.

2. No bathing or sexual intercourse

Women are prohibited from taking a bath within 2 weeks after surgery or before vaginal bleeding stops, and from having sexual intercourse for 1 month to prevent genital infection.

3. Application of antimicrobial drugs

Patients with severe cervical erosion or possible infection should be given antibacterial drugs to prevent infection.

4. Take some rest

The endocrine levels of various systems in pregnant women are different from those of ordinary women. Forced termination of pregnancy will cause great harm to the body. Therefore, women should pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue after surgery.

5. Follow-up of discomfort

Women should be followed up once a month after surgery. If there are any abnormalities (excessive bleeding, fever, abdominal pain, etc.), they can seek medical treatment at any time. Those who undergo uterine aspiration and placement of an intrauterine device must come to the outpatient clinic for a follow-up examination after the next menstrual period.
