What should you pay attention to the day before the abortion?

There are many things that women need to pay attention to before having an abortion. If they are not careful, it may lead to failure of the operation or cause greater damage to the uterus. For example, you need to wear more comfortable clothes the day before the operation, try to avoid sexual intercourse before the operation, and pregnant women cannot drink water or eat. Let’s take a closer look at what you need to pay attention to the day before an abortion.

Generally speaking, the things to pay attention to the day before abortion mainly include the following aspects:

1. It is best to wash your hair and take a shower the night before the abortion, and change into clean underwear that is easy to put on and take off. However, when taking a shower, you should be careful not to get water into your lower body to avoid infection.

2. Sexual intercourse must be prohibited the day before the abortion, and sexual intercourse must be avoided within one week before the abortion. This can help patients avoid infection after the abortion.

3. You must completely fast and abstain from water within 8 hours before the painless abortion surgery, so as to avoid anesthesia accidents during the painless abortion surgery;

4. A comprehensive preoperative examination must be carried out before an abortion. This is a very important item to pay attention to the day before an abortion. The examination items that must be done before an abortion mainly include B-ultrasound, routine leucorrhea, inflammation, blood routine, etc. By doing these examinations, the safety of the abortion operation can be further improved.

5. The day before the abortion, you must choose the right time for the abortion. At present, the best time for abortion is clinically recognized to be 35-50 days after pregnancy, because the gestational sac and uterus are not large at this time, and there is not much pregnancy tissue in the uterus, so the difficulty of abortion is small, and the abortion operation can be easily completed without the need for uterine dilation. After the abortion, the patient's body recovers quickly;

6. Stop sexual intercourse to avoid increasing the risk of vaginitis infection.

7. Take a shower on the morning of your visit to the hospital, focusing on cleaning the vulva, but be careful not to let water enter the vagina.

8. Wear underwear and pants that are easy to put on and take off. Bring enough cash. If you have a fixed hospital medical record, please bring it with you

9. It is best to have someone accompany you. Shuttled between the registration office, outpatient clinic, laboratory, payment office, and pharmacy, two people are faster than one person.

10. Before going out, take a few sanitary pads and some clean facial tissues. During the examination, the doctor will use disinfectant to disinfect the vulva. If you are not prepared, it will be embarrassing to find the vulva wet after the examination.

11. Go to bed early the night before and get enough sleep.

12. Do not have breakfast that morning and do not drink water no matter how thirsty you are. Otherwise the anesthesiologist will refuse anesthesia. Therefore, there are two possible outcomes: either postpone the operation or do a normal abortion without anesthesia.
