What should I pay attention to during induced labor and confinement?

Nowadays, many young people experience unexpected pregnancies when they are not ready to have children. At this time, they are often confused about whether to keep the baby or not and often miss the time for abortion. The baby will need an induced abortion after three months. Induced abortion, like normal childbirth, is very harmful to the body. After the operation, you must take good care of your body by recuperating. This article introduces the things to pay attention to during the confinement period after induced abortion. Let’s take a look.

Things to note when you are in confinement after induced labor

1. After successful induced labor, you will be hospitalized for 3-5 days. If everything is normal, you can be discharged from the hospital. Pay attention to rest after discharge.

2. Pay attention to the contraction of the uterus, the amount of bleeding, whether there is a fever, etc.

3. If there is vaginal bleeding or fever after induced abortion, the cause should be identified and the residual tissue in the uterine cavity should be removed to stop the bleeding and avoid the presence of infection sources.

4. Depending on the course of induced labor, use uterine contraction drugs and antibiotics as appropriate to promote uterine involution, reduce bleeding and prevent infection.

5. Sexual intercourse is prohibited within 1 month after induced abortion. At this time, you should pay more attention to the hygiene of the vulva, and the lower abdomen and genitals should be cleaned.

6. It is best to wait one year after induced abortion before getting pregnant again.

7. If you have an unwanted pregnancy, deal with it as soon as possible. The longer you delay, the greater the damage to your body.

8. Do not participate in physical labor too early, otherwise, it is easy to cause "uterine prolapse".

Dietary considerations after induced labor

1. After induced abortion, you should eat more nutritious foods, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits. The diet should mainly consist of light and nutritious protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, bean products, and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins. Avoid spicy foods such as chili peppers, alcohol, etc.

2. The best time for nourishing is half a month. For those who are weak, have poor physical condition, or have lost a lot of blood, the time for nourishing can be appropriately extended as appropriate.

We would also like to remind everyone to go to a regular and professional hospital. If you do not go to a regular hospital, because the surgical technology and surgical hygiene do not meet the standards, it may cause complications such as postpartum injury, amniotic fluid embolism, uterine infection, vaginal bleeding, etc.
