How long does it take to be clean after abortion?

Some women, because they are not ready to have children after they become pregnant, do not want to keep the baby, but decide to have an abortion. Abortion is more or less harmful to physical health, and before having an abortion, it is necessary to understand some knowledge related to abortion. For example, you should understand clearly how long it will take for your body to be clean after an abortion. After all, there may be bleeding after the abortion, so it would be better to understand it clearly.

Under normal circumstances, women will bleed for three to seven days after a miscarriage, accompanied by symptoms of lower abdominal pain. However, since each person's actual situation is different, intermittent bleeding within half a month is also within the normal range.

Things to note after abortion

After the abortion, you should rest in bed for 2-3 days, then you can get out of bed and move around, gradually increasing the activity time. Do not engage in heavy physical labor or work in cold water within half a month after the abortion to avoid catching cold. Pay attention to increasing nutrition, eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, bean products, and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to promote early repair of damaged organs.

2. Keep the vulva clean and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse.

After an abortion, the cervix has not completely closed and the endometrium also has a repair process. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. The sanitary napkins and underwear used should be washed and changed frequently. Do not take a sitz bath within half a month after the operation to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If you have sexual intercourse too early after an abortion, it can easily cause acute endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and may also lead to secondary infertility. Therefore, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month after the abortion.

If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after an abortion, or is even accompanied by lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, and other abnormal symptoms, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up visit in time.
