Do I need to rest after medical abortion?

After a medical abortion, you naturally need a period of rest. If you don't rest, your body will not be able to recover completely, and your resistance will be relatively low. It will also have a great impact on your future childbearing. Therefore, the recovery period after medical abortion is extremely important. You should eat more foods with high nutritional value and don't always eat junk food.

Abortion, also known as abortion or artificial miscarriage, or simply "abortion", is the act of intentionally ending a pregnancy, removing an embryo or causing fetal death. If the fetus has been formed for more than three months, it is called "miscarriage" or "partial birth"; if abortion or miscarriage occurs more than three times in a row, it is called "slippery miscarriage". Before abortion or miscarriage, there are usually symptoms such as fetal movement disorder, spotting, and abdominal pain, which should be prevented and treated early.

After an abortion or miscarriage, if there are no obvious symptoms, you can follow the general postpartum conditioning. If the bleeding does not stop after an abortion or miscarriage, or even faints, and the face is pale, it is mostly due to the inability of the qi to retain the blood. If there is continuous bleeding in the vagina, it is mostly due to residual blood stasis. If there is little "lochia" and the lower abdomen is hard and painful and refuses to be pressed, it is mostly due to blood clotting. Abortion has many dangers, which may cause cervical injury, bacterial infection, etc.

After an abortion, the ovaries will resume their normal ovulation function in a short period of time. It is normal to have irregular menstruation within 3 months after an abortion, and the menstrual cycle may sometimes be affected by external factors. It is not advisable to have sex within one month after an abortion.

After an artificial abortion, the ovaries can generally resume ovulation function within 22 days, and menstruation will occur in about 1 month. However, a small number of women experience menstrual disorders such as prolonged menstruation, irregular menstrual periods, and amenorrhea after artificial abortion. This condition usually returns to normal after 2-3 months, but in a few people it lasts longer.

Multiple abortions not only increase the chance of surgical errors, but also make women more likely to suffer from more complications. If these complications seriously damage the female's own reproductive system, then the occurrence of infertility after multiple abortions will be "natural".

Although abortion is a minor operation, operations such as vacuum extraction and curettage can only be performed by hand. Sometimes, complications or sequelae may occur due to careless operation, such as incomplete vacuum extraction, uterine bleeding, uterine inflammation, uterine perforation, endometriosis, fallopian tube adhesions, infertility, etc. Therefore, multiple abortions can easily have adverse effects on health.
