Is it okay to have an IV drip after an abortion?

Abortion is very common. After the abortion operation, you should pay attention to your diet and choose simple food. Don't eat complicated food at this time, otherwise it will not help your body's recovery. Women should rest in bed after abortion to avoid other problems in the body. Is it okay to have an infusion after an abortion? This is also something that many women are not clear about. Let's introduce it in detail below.

Is it okay to have an infusion after abortion?

The infusion is to replenish physical strength because the body is weak. No need for infusion, just pay attention to your own care and maintenance.

Nursing knowledge 1: Get enough rest and "sit for a short period of time"

After miscarriage, the endometrium is left with a wound. If you move too early, it is likely to prolong the duration of vaginal bleeding, so you must get enough rest. There is a folk saying about recuperation after miscarriage, called "sitting in the short confinement period", which further illustrates the importance of rest for recovery. Generally speaking, you should rest for two weeks after a miscarriage. It is best to rest in bed for the first three days. Do not engage in physical labor or physical exercise too early to prevent overwork, otherwise uterine prolapse is very likely to occur.

Nursing knowledge 2 Pay attention to hygiene and ensure internal and external cleanliness

After miscarriage, the body's resistance decreases and bacteria will take advantage of the opportunity to enter, so special attention should be paid to personal hygiene.

1. Clean the vulva. After miscarriage, secretions increase and the vagina becomes a breeding ground for bacterial infection. Therefore, you should pay attention to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic, and wash it 1-2 times a day with warm water.

2. Change your underwear frequently. Keep your underwear clean and sterile, wash, dry and change your underwear frequently, and change your sanitary napkins frequently to keep your vulva dry and clean.

3. Sit bath is prohibited. Due to the large amount of secretions (or blood), it is best to take a shower. Do not take a sitz bath before the bleeding has stopped, so as to prevent dirty water from flowing into the vagina and causing infection.

4. Stop having sex. It is best to suspend sexual intercourse within one month after a miscarriage to prevent genital organ infection.

After understanding whether it is okay to have an infusion after an abortion, women should make a choice based on their own situation, and pay attention to the fact that if women feel unwell during the infusion process, they must stop the infusion and also have a physical examination, so that they can have some understanding of their specific situation and prevent the problem from continuing to develop.
