What should you pay attention to after an abortion?

As the saying goes, a good body is a person's capital. Only when one is healthy can one have good development. But everyone will always encounter many problems in life. For example, when you get married and your financial conditions do not allow you to have children, your parents will definitely choose to give up your children reluctantly. In this situation, no matter from which angle you look at it, the woman is definitely the one who gets hurt. She needs to recover slowly physically and bear the pressure mentally. However, as long as you take good care of your body, you will be able to get pregnant again. So what should you pay attention to after you have an abortion?

There is definitely some physical harm from abortion, but it will not affect your next fertility. I think if you want your body to recover quickly after being sick, eating nutritious food would be the best way to do it, but there must be some specific methods for after an abortion.

As the saying goes, "Ten months of pregnancy, one day of delivery" and "The ripe melon falls off the vine." Normal delivery occurs when the fetus is full-term and changes in hormones in the mother cause the uterus to contract and deliver the fetus and placenta. This is a natural phenomenon of the human body, and the body has sufficient time to adapt and prepare for it. Artificial abortion is the process of artificially using surgical instruments to remove embryonic tissue and fetus from the uterine cavity within 12 weeks of pregnancy in order to terminate the pregnancy. Some people call abortion a "mini-confinement period". Since abortion artificially interrupts normal pregnancy, the body does not have a slow and gradual adaptation process, so it has a certain impact on human health. When a pregnant woman has an abortion, the high mental tension and severe pain caused by the suction of the uterine cavity by the catheter increase the excitability of the sympathetic nerves, increase the secretion of adrenaline, increase the body's metabolic rate, and increase energy consumption. At the same time, during abortion, the mother's endometrium is inevitably damaged. If you do not pay attention to strengthening self-care after the operation, it may lead to prolonged vaginal bleeding, back pain, abdominal pain, menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, etc.

Therefore, doing a good job of self-care after abortion is crucial to promoting the smooth recovery of the body and reproductive organs:

1) Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition

After an abortion, you should rest in bed for 2-3 days, then you can get out of bed and move around, gradually increasing the time you spend active. Do not engage in heavy physical labor and avoid contact with cold water within half a month after the abortion. It takes about a month for the uterus to recover after an abortion. Therefore, we should pay attention to increasing nutrition, taking in adequate protein, enhancing the body's resistance to disease, and promoting the early repair of injured organs. After an abortion, you should eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products, and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up your body's recovery.

2) Keep the vulva clean and hygienic, and avoid sexual intercourse

The cervix has not closed after abortion, and the endometrium also has a repair process. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. Do not take a bath in a tub within half a month after the operation to prevent unclean water from entering the vagina, leading to bacterial invasion and infection. Avoid sexual intercourse within one month after abortion.

3) Observe the bleeding situation and prevent the condition from getting worse

If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after an abortion, and is accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

4) Pay attention to contraception to avoid pregnancy

After abortion, the ovarian and uterine functions gradually recover, and the ovaries ovulate on schedule. If you don't stick to contraception, you will get pregnant again soon. Some women get pregnant again in the same month after having an abortion, which has a greater impact on the body. Therefore, reliable contraceptive measures should be chosen. Abortion can only be used as a remedial surgery as a last resort after contraceptive failure. Abortion should never be used as a contraceptive measure to protect the physical and mental health of women.

Pregnancy is something every woman loves, it gives her a taste of motherhood. You will also be filled with happiness. However, there are different reasons that lead people to make the decision to give up their love. The above introduces the general issues that women should pay attention to after abortion. As long as you pay more attention as mentioned above, you don’t have to worry about your body’s recovery, and take good care of your body to prepare for the arrival of the next life.
