Abortion refers to the termination of pregnancy by surgery , including vacuum aspiration and curettage . Vacuum aspiration is to use a hollow straw to enter the uterine cavity and suck out the embryonic tissue in the uterus through negative pressure , while curettage is to use oval forceps to clamp out large pieces of embryonic tissue in the uterus . Before abortion , some preparations should be made , because it has a great impact on women's health and treatment . Let's see what should be done ? If you find yourself pregnant but do not want to have a child , you should try to get an artificial abortion within 10 weeks . Because the longer the pregnancy is , the more complications there are , so don't wait until the pregnancy is advanced to get an abortion or induced labor . You should avoid sexual intercourse within 1 week before the artificial abortion , take a bath and change clothes 1 day before the operation , and avoid catching a cold . You need to fast and abstain from water for four hours before the operation . However , it should be noted that women with acute or chronic systemic diseases or severe heart, liver, or kidney damage ; or women with acute or chronic inflammation of the reproductive system are not suitable for artificial abortion . Do not eat or drink some sugar water on the morning of the surgery . If the body temperature exceeds 37.5℃ , the surgery should be performed on another day . During the surgery, you must cooperate closely with the doctor and do not be too nervous . First , do a B -ultrasound at a local professional gynecology hospital to check how long the pregnancy is and whether it is suitable for painless abortion (the bladder needs to be filled before the B -ultrasound ). Before the operation, you must be on an empty stomach , and you cannot say that you have not eaten anything at all . Eat a small amount of white porridge . Also, bring a piece of clothing to wear when you leave the hospital to avoid catching a cold , and remember to bring a sanitary napkin . Step 1 : Don't joke with your life , choose a regular hospital The equipment needed for an abortion operation in a regular hospital include : disposable consumables, negative pressure suction device, B -ultrasound, ECG monitor, anesthesia machine, ventilator, etc. , while painless abortion requires anesthesia , so it also includes anesthetic drugs . Step 2 : Choose the right abortion method The requirement for gestational age for artificial abortion is wider than that for medical abortion , and it is suitable for termination of pregnancy between 6 and 12 weeks . Artificial abortion has less bleeding than medical abortion , and the uterine bleeding time is shorter than that of medical abortion . Generally, the bleeding will be completely gone within 10 days after the operation . However, it also has disadvantages : there is a possibility of complications of artificial abortion , including incomplete uterine aspiration, missed aspiration, uterine perforation, cervical laceration, postoperative infection, intraoperative and postoperative bleeding, artificial abortion syndrome, cervical and uterine cavity adhesions, menstrual disorders , etc. Artificial abortion can be divided into two types according to the different anesthesia methods during the operation : ordinary abortion and painless abortion . The operation process is the same , but painless abortion uses anesthetics ( intravenous analgesia ) during the operation, while traditional abortion only uses local anesthesia . The anesthetic effects are different : local anesthesia can only relieve pain , while intravenous anesthetics can achieve a completely painless effect . From the perspective of surgery , the two are suitable for the same group of people and are not suitable for the same group of people , but the specific blood routine needs to be understood , and then decide when to use which surgical method under the doctor's advice . Step 3 : Choose the right time for surgery The best time for abortion is within 6-8 weeks of pregnancy . If the pregnancy is too short , the embryo is too small , which may lead to incomplete abortion . If the pregnancy is too long , the fetus is too large , which may prolong the operation time , increase bleeding , and significantly increase the trauma to the patient . Step 4 : Make adequate preparations before surgery Sexual intercourse is prohibited three days before and one month after abortion . Vaginitis patients need to be cured before surgery , otherwise it is easy to cause the spread of infection , resulting in pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis and other serious consequences . If painless abortion is used , fasting for 8 hours before surgery . Step 5 : Postoperative conditioning should be appropriate After the abortion, you should rest for two weeks . It is not suitable to do strenuous sports activities and heavy mental work . You cannot take a bath or swim within one month after the operation . You should avoid eating ginseng , deer antlers, etc. The body's resistance decreases after the operation . You should pay attention to local hygiene to prevent infection . You should pay attention to contraception within six months after the operation to allow the uterus to recover better . The above is the introduction of some preparations that should be done before abortion . I hope it will be helpful for your understanding .
