Belly enlargement after miscarriage

It is a measure taken by couples after they get pregnant unexpectedly without taking proper precautions. Abortion is harmful to women's bodies. Many women will experience some adverse effects after abortion, among which an enlarged belly is a relatively common phenomenon. The situation of a bigger belly after miscarriage is something that people need to pay special attention to. Here we will introduce in detail why the belly becomes bigger after miscarriage.

The enlargement of the lower abdomen after abortion is caused by many factors, such as not doing it cleanly during the abortion or medical abortion, and there are other secretions and dirt in the abdomen. These are the reasons that cause the belly to get bigger. Don’t you think it’s incredible?

It is abnormal for a woman's belly to become larger after an abortion, because uterine contractions usually occur after an abortion, provided that the belly is already visibly pregnant. The contractions occur within a week. You can take some medicines within this week, and these medicines are helpful for the contractions. The condition will be better after a few days.

If there is still no recovery after a week, then you should go to a regular hospital for a check-up. It is best to have a B-ultrasound.

Regarding the situation where the belly becomes bigger after abortion, the first thing to do is to pay attention to your diet. You cannot eat too much during this period, as eating too much is not conducive to your body's recovery.

If you are almost recovered, you can go outdoors for proper exercise, which is very beneficial for the recovery of the uterus.

To choose a suitable diet, food should be easy to digest, especially foods rich in various vitamins and trace elements, such as various vegetables, fruits, beans, eggs, meat, etc. People with weak gastrointestinal function should be cautious when eating cold foods, such as mung beans, white fungus, lotus seeds, etc. People with yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire should be cautious when eating foods that are easy to cause internal heat, such as rooster, beef, dog meat, carp, etc. Pay attention to iron supplementation (beef, lean meat, liver, kidney, egg yolk, blood, green vegetables, and fruits are rich in iron) and ensure adequate protein intake.

2. Take rest

Rest for 1-2 weeks after medical abortion: gradually increase activity time. Do not engage in heavy physical labor or work in cold water within half a month after the abortion to avoid reduced resistance and induce other diseases.

3. Keep the vulva clean and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse

After an abortion, the cervix has not completely closed and the endometrium also has a repair process. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. The sanitary napkins and other items and underwear used should be washed and changed frequently. Do not take a sitz bath within half a month after the operation to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If you have sexual intercourse too early after an abortion, it can easily cause acute endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and may also lead to secondary infertility. Therefore, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month after the abortion.
