The difference between lying in bed and sitting after abortion

After an abortion, women must pay attention to good rest. It is best to rest in bed for three days after the abortion, and rest at home for about a month. Do not sit for a long time. If you sit for a long time, it is very harmful to your body. Sitting or standing for a long time is not conducive to recovery and the discharge of lochia. You must understand these precautions after the abortion, maintain adequate rest, and strengthen diet adjustment.

What should you pay attention to after abortion?

1. The operation should be performed within 70 days of pregnancy, and the doctor should be told truthfully about the possible time of conception, past pregnancy and delivery history, and important diseases. 2. Those with allergic constitution or history of drug allergy, or those who need to wear an IUD after surgery, should inform the doctor in advance. 3. Before undergoing a painless abortion, you must undergo corresponding gynecological examinations, urine pregnancy tests, and B-ultrasound examinations to determine whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy and the size of the pregnancy, and truthfully tell the doctor your past pregnancy history. 4. In addition to B-ultrasound examination and urine pregnancy test, routine examinations such as electrocardiogram, leucorrhea routine examination, hematuria, etc. are also required. 5. You should not eat or drink anything for 6 hours before the abortion operation; avoid sexual intercourse within one week before the operation. 6. Take a shower and change clothes one day before the operation, and change into clean underwear; actively treat vaginal inflammation and colds, etc.; wear loose pants as much as possible before the abortion, and bring your own sanitary napkins and toilet paper; relax and don't be nervous.

How to care after painless abortion: 1. No sexual intercourse within one month after abortion, keep the vulva clean and hygienic. 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. 2. After an abortion, you should keep the vulva clean and hygienic, wash it with warm water 1 to 2 times a day, and change menstrual pads and straw paper frequently. Do not take a sitz bath within 2 weeks or before vaginal bleeding has stopped, and avoid sexual intercourse within 1 month to prevent genital organ infection. If you have fever, abdominal pain, or vaginal discharge with an unusual odor, it may be caused by infection and you should seek medical attention immediately. 3. You need to rest for 2 weeks after painless abortion and read less newspapers and watch less TV. 4. Eat more nutritious food to restore your body to normal as soon as possible. Generally speaking, cold drinks should be avoided for 7-10 days after surgery, and spicy food should be avoided within one month. 5. As long as you resume your sexual life after a painless abortion, you must take contraceptive measures to avoid getting pregnant again. Under normal circumstances, the endometrial repair period is about half a year, so special attention needs to be paid to prevent uterine damage caused by another pregnancy.

6. Do not take a sitz bath within 2 weeks or before vaginal bleeding has stopped. 7. Within 2 weeks after the operation, rest in bed appropriately and avoid heavy physical labor. 8. Generally, vaginal bleeding will gradually stop within 3 to 5 days and will not exceed 10 to 15 days at most. If the amount of vaginal bleeding exceeds the amount of menstrual blood and lasts too long, you need to seek medical treatment promptly.
