Urine test weak positive after abortion

Although artificial abortion is very simple, it is not always possible to complete the process. Therefore, a follow-up visit is necessary after an abortion to find out the actual effect of the abortion. Some women's urine results during the follow-up visit are weak positive. So, what is the reason for weak positive urine in the follow-up visit after abortion?

Many women find that their urine test results are still positive after having an abortion, so they worry that the abortion was not done cleanly. In fact, it is a very common condition. The reason for this is that after an abortion, the human chorionic gonadotropin in a woman's body has not yet returned to the normal level. If the early pregnancy test still shows weak positive 2 weeks after the abortion, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound examination.

1. Why is the urine test still positive after abortion?

After an abortion, because the body's estrogen levels have not completely dropped, the level of human chorionic gonadotropin in the blood has not yet dropped to normal. Therefore, within 15 days after the abortion, the pregnancy test paper will generally show positive or weak positive. This is normal and there is no need to worry. HCG can return to normal values ​​in about two weeks after abortion, and at the latest about 20 days. If it is found that it has not recovered for a long time after the operation, you should pay attention to whether there is still bleeding, and do a B-ultrasound examination to understand whether the abortion is incomplete or you are pregnant again after the abortion. Nowadays, it is normal for pregnancy test strips to show a weak positive.

It is recommended to go to the hospital immediately one week after the abortion for a follow-up gynecological ultrasound to see if there are any remnants of pregnancy in the uterine cavity. If the bleeding time is long, you should return for a checkup of blood chorionic villus to test gonadal hormone in about a month to pay attention to the possibility of trophoblastic disease. If the doctor sees detailed hairy tissue scraped out after the operation, there is no need to worry. Generally, the female hormones in the human body will gradually decrease after the abortion, so it is normal to have a positive urine test within 3 days after the abortion. It is recommended that you observe for a few more days. Generally, it will become negative after 7 days.

2. Common problems after abortion

1. Pay attention to rest and improve nutrition. You should rest in bed for 2-3 days after the abortion, then you can get out of bed and move around, and gradually increase your activity level. Do not engage in heavy physical work or work in cold water within half a month after the abortion to avoid catching a cold. Pay attention to increasing nutrition, eat more fish, meat, eggs, etc. to promote the repair of the uterine wall.

2. Keep the vulva clean and refrain from sexual intercourse. After an abortion, the cervix has not completely closed, and the uterine wall also has a repair process. You should pay attention to maintaining daily cleanliness of the vulva, wash and change sanitary napkins and underwear frequently, and do not take a bath within half a month after the operation to prevent turbid water from entering the vagina and causing infection. Sexual intercourse is prohibited within one month after an abortion.

3. Adhere to good contraceptive measures. After abortion, the functions of the uterus, ovaries and uterus gradually recover, and the uterus and ovaries ovulate on time. If you do not persist in taking contraceptive measures, you will get pregnant again soon. Therefore, after an abortion, a reliable contraceptive method should be chosen as soon as possible, and contraception should always be the main method. Abortion should not be used as a substitute for contraceptive sterilization surgery.
