What should you pay attention to after abortion

Artificial abortion, also known as artificial abortion, refers to the termination of pregnancy by surgery. It is a last resort for women to take remedial measures when contraception fails. Artificial abortion surgery is relatively safe and simple, but there are certain risks. If you do not pay attention to postoperative care, you may suffer from infection or infertility. Therefore, the following aspects are required after artificial abortion surgery:

1. Observe for 2 hours after surgery before leaving

Women should stay in the hospital for 2 hours after the abortion so that the doctor can understand the vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. If the patient has no adverse reactions, she can go home.

2. Prevention of infection after surgery

Abortion can damage the uterine mucosa, and it takes some time for the uterine mucosa to recover. In addition, the cervix is ​​loose at this time. If you do not pay attention to hygiene, external bacteria or vaginal bacteria can easily enter the uterine cavity and cause infection. Therefore, women who have had an abortion should pay attention to maintaining genital hygiene, wash the genitals with warm water 1 to 2 times a day, and change sanitary napkins frequently. At the same time, bathing in a tub is prohibited within 2 weeks, and sexual intercourse is prohibited within 1 month. If the patient has fever, abdominal pain, or odor in the vaginal discharge, it may be caused by infection and should be treated with medication in time.

3. Pay attention to rest and diet

Abortion will have a certain impact on women's bodies, so they should rest for 2 weeks after the operation, pay attention to diet, and prevent colds and chills so that their body functions can recover as soon as possible.
