What should I pay attention to after having an abortion?

Due to the improvement of economic level and more advanced social ideas, people often get pregnant unexpectedly and need abortion. So what should you pay attention to after an abortion? In particular, many working women and students are busy with work and study, and do not have much time after abortion. They do not pay attention to rest and their nutrition is not enough, which can easily cause postoperative infection and other gynecological diseases. Now let’s take a look at the things to pay attention to after having an abortion.

Keep the vulva clean and hygienic, and avoid sexual intercourse. The cervix has not closed after abortion, and the endometrium also has a repair process. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. Do not take a bath in a tub within half a month after the operation to prevent unclean water from entering the vagina, leading to bacterial invasion and infection. Avoid sexual intercourse within one month after abortion.

Observe the bleeding situation and prevent the condition from worsening. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after an abortion, and is accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, and turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

Pay attention to contraception to avoid pregnancy again. After abortion, the ovarian and uterine functions gradually recover, and the ovaries ovulate on schedule. If you don't stick to contraception, you will get pregnant again soon. Some women get pregnant again in the same month after having an abortion, which has a greater impact on the body. Therefore, reliable contraceptive measures should be chosen. Abortion can only be used as a remedial surgery as a last resort after contraceptive failure. Abortion should never be used as a contraceptive measure to protect the physical and mental health of women.

Appropriate exercise: You should do some appropriate activities during rest to help discharge the blood accumulated in the uterus. Do not stay in bed all day.

After an abortion, you should avoid eating too much meat and fish, or overeating. Instead, you should eat a normal and light diet, and add some protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products, and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins. If you bleed too much during the operation or if you are weak, you should also supplement trace elements, such as iron, to enhance the body's resistance to disease and promote the early repair of damaged organs. After an abortion, you should eat more to speed up your body's recovery.

Pay attention to rest: People say that abortion is equivalent to a short confinement period, so it is generally necessary to rest for half a month or a month after an abortion. Due to new trauma to the uterus and vaginal bleeding, retrograde infection is prone to occur.

The above is about what you should pay attention to after having an abortion? Especially unmarried women must rest and take care of their bodies in time after having an abortion. They must not touch too much cold water after having an abortion and cannot take a bath within a week, especially not a tub bath, to prevent bacterial infection. But they must also stay clean and hygienic, eat a light diet, and eat some meat to supplement nutrition in time. I wish you good health.
