What should you pay attention to after an abortion?

For female friends, abortion is extremely harmful to the body. After the operation, you must pay more attention to rest and avoid strenuous exercise. At the same time, you must strengthen nutrition and supplement more protein. The private parts must be kept clean and hygienic. You cannot take a bath in a bathtub or have sex. Finally, observe the bleeding. If the amount is large and accompanied by abdominal pain, you must seek medical attention in time.

1. Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition: You should rest in bed for 2 to 3 days after abortion, and then you can get out of bed and move around, gradually increasing the activity time. Do not engage in heavy physical labor and avoid contact with cold water within half a month after abortion. It takes about a month for the uterus to recover after an abortion. Therefore, we should pay attention to increasing nutrition, taking in adequate protein, enhancing the body's resistance to disease, and promoting the early repair of injured organs. After an abortion, you should eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products, and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up your body's recovery.

2. Keep the vulva clean and hygienic, and avoid having sex : The cervix has not closed after abortion, and the endometrium also has a process of repair. 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.

3. Observe the bleeding situation and prevent the condition from worsening: If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after abortion, and is accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for follow-up examination and treatment in time. If there is no discomfort, you can follow the doctor's advice and go to the hospital for a vaginal B-ultrasound examination and routine secretion check two weeks or one month after your menstruation resumes to understand the postoperative recovery situation.

4. Contraceptive function to prevent pregnancy: After abortion, the functions of the ovaries and uterus 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 they have an abortion, which has a greater impact on the body. Therefore, the contraceptive measures that should be chosen should be abortion, which 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.
