Let's have a simple understanding and understanding of this issue. I hope the following points will be helpful to everyone!

What should I do if my menstrual period is only a small amount after abortion?

Abortion is harmful to the uterine wall. Generally, you need to rest after a miscarriage, eat more foods that replenish qi and blood, take motherwort paste or Xinsheng granules, Guizhi Fuling pills and other medicines internally to help uterine contraction and promote uterine wall repair. You will have your first menstruation in about a month. If the amount of menstruation is very small, it means that the uterine wall repair is not good. It is recommended to do a gynecological color ultrasound examination to check the thickness of the endometrium. The normal endometrial thickness is 5 to 10mm. The last state is before menarche. Check the estrogen level and do endocrine treatment if necessary.

What are the common problems after abortion?

If you cannot take good care of yourself after abortion, it is easy to cause various gynecological diseases. What are the common problems after an abortion? You should rest in bed for 2-3 days after an abortion. You should not do heavy physical work or work in cold water within half a month to prevent cold. You should also eat more protein and foods rich in vitamins.

1. Pay attention to rest and improve nutrition. You should rest in bed for 2-3 days after the abortion, then you can get out of bed and move around, and gradually increase your activity level. Do not engage in heavy physical work or work in cold water within half a month after the abortion to avoid catching a cold. Pay attention to increasing nutrition, eat more fish, meat, eggs, beans and other protein-rich foods and fruits rich in vitamins to promote the repair of the uterine wall.

2. Keep the vulva clean and refrain from sexual intercourse. After an abortion, the cervix has not completely closed, and the uterine wall also has a repair process. During this period, you should pay attention to maintaining daily cleanliness of the vulva, wash and change sanitary napkins and underwear frequently, and do not take a bath in a tub within about half a month after the operation to prevent turbid water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If you have sex too soon after an abortion, it can easily lead to subacute endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and secondary infertility. Therefore, couples are prohibited from having sexual intercourse within one month after an abortion.

3. Observe the bleeding situation. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after abortion, or is even accompanied by lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid discharge with odor and other abnormal symptoms, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination in time.

4. Adhere to good contraceptive measures. After abortion, the functions of the uterus, ovaries and uterus gradually recover, and the uterus and ovaries ovulate on time. If you do not persist in taking contraceptive measures, you will get pregnant again soon. Therefore, after an abortion, a reliable contraceptive method should be chosen as soon as possible, and contraception should always be the main method. Abortion should not be used as a substitute for contraceptive sterilization surgery.
