What are the most important things to pay attention to after abortion?

In life, there are many people who get pregnant unexpectedly, and most women will choose abortion. But in fact, abortion is very harmful to the body and is prone to other complications. Therefore, several precautions after abortion need to be paid more attention.

1. Rest for 2 hours after the abortion. Do not get up immediately after the operation. Rest in bed for 2 hours in the hospital. Observe the contraction of the uterus and vaginal bleeding. If there is any abnormality, ask the doctor to check and deal with it in time. This is one of the precautions after the abortion.

2. After abortion, the body's resistance is reduced, and personal hygiene should be paid more attention. Because the wound surface of the endometrium is left, the vaginal secretions increase, making it a hotbed for bacterial infection and reproduction. Therefore, patients who have had an abortion should pay special attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, take a shower to clean the vulva in time, disinfect the toilet paper and change it frequently; avoid taking a bath in a tub within half a month, and change and wash underwear frequently; precautions after abortion should be paid attention to the absolute prohibition of sexual intercourse within one month to prevent bacterial infection.

3. After the abortion, you should also pay attention to the vaginal discharge. Generally, there will be red or light red discharge within a week, and the amount will decrease gradually without obvious odor. If there is still bleeding or more discharge after a week, especially if the discharge has a bad odor and is accompanied by fever, abdominal pain and other symptoms, you should consider the presence of infection or residue in the uterus. You should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid worsening of the condition after the abortion. These are all things that need to be paid more attention to in the precautions after the abortion.

The above is knowledge that I hope will be helpful for patients who choose to undergo abortion surgery, so that they can pay attention to these post-abortion precautions in time.
