How to recuperate after abortion?

After an abortion, the body is weaker and the immunity is reduced. Just like after giving birth, you need to take good care of yourself, otherwise you will suffer from lifelong problems. So how should you take care of yourself after an abortion? Let our gynecologist tell you what to do after an abortion .

The main things to pay attention to after abortion are as follows:

1. When recuperating after an abortion, you should pay attention to not using cold water to wash your hair, bathe, wash your hands, or wash clothes and vegetables. Otherwise, the stimulation of cold water can induce arthritis, leaving behind pain in the joints and muscles of the cold-exposed parts. You should pay special attention to hygiene, change and wash your underwear frequently, wash your vulva daily, and change and disinfect toilet paper frequently. Those with uncleaned blood are absolutely prohibited from lavaging the vagina or taking a sitz bath to avoid ascending infection.

2. After the abortion, the cervix has not completely closed, and the endometrium also has a process of repair. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. The sanitary napkins and underwear used should be washed and changed frequently. Do not take a bath within half a month after the operation to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If you have sexual intercourse too early after the abortion, it is easy to cause acute endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease, and it can also cause secondary infertility. Therefore, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month after the abortion.

3. After abortion, you should choose a suitable diet. The food should be easy to digest, especially foods rich in various vitamins and trace elements, such as various vegetables, fruits, beans, eggs, meat, etc. People with gastrointestinal deficiency should be cautious about taking cold foods, such as mung beans, white fungus, lotus seeds, etc.; people with yin deficiency and excessive fire should be cautious about taking rooster, beef, dog meat, carp and other foods that are easy to get angry. Pay attention to iron supplementation and sufficient protein intake.

4. After the abortion, the ovarian and uterine functions gradually recover, and the ovaries produce eggs on schedule. If you do not insist on taking contraceptive measures, you will get pregnant again soon. Therefore, after the abortion, you should choose reliable contraceptive measures as soon as possible. Abortion can only be used as a remedial operation after contraceptive failure. You must insist on taking contraception as the main measure, and you cannot take abortion as a contraceptive measure.

5. Observe the bleeding. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after abortion, or is accompanied by lower abdominal pain, fever, leucorrhea that is turbid and has a foul odor, etc., you should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination and treatment in time.
