Improper post-abortion care can cause pelvic inflammatory disease

After an abortion, the body's resistance is reduced. If you do not pay attention to your daily life and do not take proper care, it is easy to cause pelvic inflammatory disease. The inflammation of the uterus has not completely subsided after an abortion, and the uterus is in an open state. If you do not pay attention to hygiene or get cold in the bath, it is easy to get a pelvic infection. If the uterus does not recover well, and you have sex, bacteria will take advantage of the opportunity to enter, causing infection and pelvic inflammatory disease.

After the abortion, you should stay in bed for 2-3 days, and then you can get out of bed and move around, gradually increasing the activity time. Do not engage in heavy physical labor within half a month after the abortion, and avoid contact with cold water. Pay attention to nutrition, eat more high-protein and easily digestible foods, such as eggs, milk, fish, poultry, meat, etc., eat more vegetables and fruits; avoid irritating foods, such as peppers, ginger, raw garlic, strong tea and coffee, etc.; avoid hot foods, such as mutton, beef, dog meat and seafood, etc.; do not eat raw, cold and spicy foods, do not drink alcohol, and increase nutrition.

Do not do vaginal douching or swimming for one week after the abortion. It is best not to rush to take a bath, especially a tub bath, which can easily cause pelvic inflammatory disease. In addition, the body is weak after the abortion, and catching a cold is not conducive to recovery. Sexual intercourse is prohibited within one month after the operation.

Bleeding should also be observed after the abortion. Vaginal bleeding after painless abortion generally lasts for one week. If the bleeding lasts for more than one week and there are abnormal symptoms such as heavy bleeding, lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid vaginal discharge and foul smell, you should go to the hospital for a checkup and treatment in time. These symptoms are often manifestations of abnormal abortion and pelvic inflammatory disease, which should be paid close attention to. Go to the hospital where the abortion was performed for treatment at any time to prevent accidents and bring greater harm to the weak body.
