What causes uterine contraction after abortion?

Nowadays, more and more people are suffering from unexpected pregnancies due to inadequate contraceptive measures. Most people in this situation will choose to have an abortion. In the past, many people would think twice because abortion technology was not up to standard. However, with the continuous development of technology, the number of abortion cases received as gifts in hospitals is increasing every day. One of the obvious sequelae after abortion is that the uterus will contract. What is the reason for the uterus contraction after abortion?

1. To prevent the harm caused by excessive uterine contractions, pregnant women who are about to have an emergency delivery should be hospitalized 2 weeks in advance. During hospitalization, they should be advised not to leave the ward, and the harm of emergency delivery should be explained to them to obtain their cooperation. Avoid enema after labor. Use oxytocin appropriately and provide supportive measures to relieve pain and reduce anxiety. Accompany the mother more often, provide relevant care, talk to her to distract her attention, explain the progress of labor and the condition of the fetus, so as to reduce her anxiety and tension.

2. Observe the progress of labor, cooperate with the treatment and care of those in emergency labor, provide oxygen inhalation, prevent fetal hypoxia caused by excessive uterine contractions, and make preparations for delivery and rescue of newborns in advance.

Whenever possible, perform an episiotomy during delivery to prevent perineal tearing. Vaginal examination should be performed after delivery, and any lacerations should be sutured promptly. And give antibiotics to prevent infection. Newborns are given intramuscular injections of vitamin K1 to prevent intracranial hemorrhage, and careful inspection is performed for trauma. For those with uncoordinated and excessive uterine contractions, identify and eliminate the causes, such as immediately stopping obstetric operations, reducing unnecessary stimulation, and stopping the use of oxytocin. Give a sedative to suppress uterine contractions. Relaxes spasmodic uterine contractions. It is effective to make uterine contractions regular; otherwise, all preparations for cesarean section should be made immediately.

3. Provide a comfortable environment, give psychological support, and reduce their anxiety. Provide a comfortable environment for pregnant women, left side lying position, daily care, reduce consumption, promote comfort, and talk with the mother to explain the current progress of labor and treatment plan to reduce anxiety.

4. Provide good postpartum care to prevent postpartum hemorrhage. Observe uterine contractions, perineal wounds, and vital signs to make the mother understand that persistent vaginal bleeding or increased bleeding indicates postpartum hemorrhage, and provide discharge education and contraceptive guidance to the mother.

I believe that many people now have a very clear concept of uterine contraction after abortion. As for whether to keep the child after an unexpected pregnancy, I still hope that the majority of female friends can consider it carefully. After all, although medical technology is constantly developing, abortion will still have a certain impact on the uterus and even affect future reproductive function.
