What to pay attention to after abortion

The unexpected birth of a baby is something to be celebrated, but many newly-formed families have to temporarily give up the birth of their baby and abort the baby due to financial reasons. However, when it comes to the current methods of abortion, there are really many things to consider. When choosing an abortion, you must pay attention to choosing a regular hospital, a professional doctor, and the method that causes the least damage to the uterus.

However, if you want your body to recover quickly after an abortion, the key is to pay attention to post-abortion care and understand what to pay attention to after an abortion. Only in this way can your uterus recover as quickly as possible and not affect future fertility.

Experts say that generally speaking, the most appropriate time for abortion is 40-50 days into pregnancy. Because the fetus has not yet formed at this time, the uterus is not too large, and the muscles of the uterine wall are thicker, the embryo can be easily sucked out. Therefore, the operation time is short, the amount of bleeding is small, and the body recovers faster after abortion. If the pregnancy is advanced, the fetal skeleton has been formed, the uterus has become larger, and the uterine wall has become thinner, then surgery will be very difficult, and the operation will take a long time, with a large amount of bleeding, prolonged recovery time, and greater pain for the pregnant woman.

You will get pregnant again soon. Therefore, after an abortion, you should choose reliable contraceptive measures as soon as possible.

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.

3. Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition. After the abortion, you should rest in bed for 2 to 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, enhancing the body's resistance to disease, and promoting early repair of damaged organs. After an abortion, you should eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up your body's recovery.
