Abortion is a painful choice for women, but some female friends have to choose abortion due to various reasons. Abortion is quite harmful to the body. Women may be prone to gynecological diseases after abortion. Some women may become infertile due to abortion. Therefore, you must be cautious when choosing to have an abortion. Some women experience headaches after abortion. What should you do if you have a headache after an abortion? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. What should I do if I have a headache after an abortion?

1. After the abortion, the patient should rest for at least 2 weeks, pay attention to reading less newspapers and watching less TV, rest in bed appropriately, and avoid strenuous activities.

2. In order to prevent headaches after abortion, patients should also pay attention to increasing their own nutrition so that their bodies can recover as soon as possible.

3. Female friends should also pay attention to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic after abortion. It should be washed with warm water 1 to 2 times a day. Be careful not to let water enter the vagina. Also remember to change sanitary napkins frequently.

4. Do not take a sitz bath within 2 weeks after the abortion or before the vaginal bleeding has stopped. You should use a shower instead, because a sitz bath can easily allow sewage to enter the vagina and cause infection.

2. Precautions after abortion

Sexual intercourse should be prohibited within 1 month after the operation to prevent infection. If you experience fever, abdominal pain, or vaginal discharge with an unusual odor, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

have a good rest

1. Some women may not take abortion seriously and return to work right after the operation. But in fact, abortion is the artificial termination of pregnancy, which is harmful to the body. Therefore, you need to rest well after the operation. Generally, you need to stay in bed for two or three days and take proper rest within half a month. Do not do heavy work.

2. Increase Nutrition

After an abortion, a woman's uterus will suffer certain damage, even if she goes to the best hospital for the operation. After all, the operation is performed in the uterine cavity, and the woman's body will be weaker after the operation. Therefore, women need to increase their nutrition after the operation, drink more chicken soup, fish soup, etc., and also supplement more protein by eating more eggs, lean meat, animal offal, etc.

3. Pay attention to hygiene

After an abortion, the body is weaker and more susceptible to gynecological inflammation caused by the invasion of bacteria and viruses. Therefore, you must pay special attention to hygiene during the recovery period after an abortion. Wash your lower body every day to keep it clean and dry. You do not need to use lotion, soap, etc. when washing, just use warm water.

4. Prevent Infection

Because there will be a small amount of bleeding in the female's lower body after an abortion, which is more prone to infection, doctors will generally prescribe some anti-inflammatory drugs for women after an abortion. Women must take the drugs as prescribed by the doctor and must not stop or reduce the dosage on their own.

5. Take good contraception

About one month after an abortion, a woman's ovulation will resume and her menstruation will come. If a woman does not pay attention to self-protection and does not choose reliable contraceptive measures, she may soon become pregnant again. Having two abortions in a short period of time will cause great harm to the body.

6. Don’t have sex

Women should not have sex or take a bath within half a month after an abortion. One reason is that the vaginal bleeding may not have stopped at this time, and the other is that the endometrium is damaged by the abortion and needs time to recover as soon as possible after the operation.

7. Pay attention to menstruation

Some women may experience irregular menstruation after an abortion. Their menstruation may be delayed or the amount of menstruation may decrease. Therefore, women need to pay more attention to their menstrual condition after an abortion. If there is a problem, it is best to see a Chinese medicine practitioner for treatment.

3. Reminder

After an abortion, you should prevent infection, get more rest, and eat more nutritious food.
