What should I pay attention to after the palace cleaning?

Generally, abortion surgery requires uterine curettage. All artificial abortion methods require uterine curettage. Of course, if people choose medical abortion, uterine curettage may or may not be required. Medical abortion is also harmful to the body. If medical abortion is not clean, uterine curettage is required. If it has been confirmed that the abortion is clean, uterine curettage is not required. If a uterine curettage is required, it is necessary to understand the precautions after the uterine curettage. What should you pay attention to right after the uterine curettage?

1. Take breaks

After uterine curettage, the body is weak and qi and blood are insufficient. You should rest in bed for 2-3 days. You can get out of bed and move around later, gradually increasing the activity time. But do not engage in heavy physical labor, move things, lift heavy objects within half a month, avoid strenuous exercise, and prevent overwork. It is recommended to take a two-week break before returning to work.

2. Keep your vulva clean

After the curettage, due to the trauma to the endometrium and vaginal bleeding, the antibacterial ability is weak and retrograde infection is prone to occur. Therefore, attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the vulva, wash the vulva with warm water every day, change underwear and sanitary pads frequently to prevent bacteria from entering the uterine cavity from the vagina and causing infection.

3. Pay attention to nutritional supplements

The body is relatively weak after curettage and the uterus needs about a month to recover. 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. You should eat more protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, chicken, eggs, milk, soy products, and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up your body's recovery.

4. Showering is the best option for bathing

After uterine curettage, the cervix is ​​open and the local antibacterial ability is weak. Within one month, it is better to take a shower instead of a tub bath to prevent unclean water from entering the vagina, causing bacterial invasion and infection.

5 Avoid sexual intercourse within one month

After a uterine curettage, you cannot have sex within one month because the endometrium is stripped away by drugs, forming a wound. Having sex too early can lead to ascending infection or bleeding, causing various inflammations such as pelvic inflammatory disease, cervicitis, adnexitis, endometritis, etc. In severe cases, it may even affect future fertility.

6. Pay attention to contraception

After uterine curettage, it takes some time for the endometrium to fully repair. After menstruation resumes, you should pay attention to contraception during intercourse. It is recommended to consider pregnancy after half a year or a year. If pregnancy occurs before the endometrium has returned to normal, it will have an adverse effect on fetal growth and subsequent delivery.

7. Timely review

If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after uterine curettage, or if you experience symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, or abnormal leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. In addition, one month after the curettage and when menstruation has resumed, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination.
