Abortion is a way many women choose to deal with an unexpected pregnancy.

Abortion is very harmful to women's bodies, and some problems often occur in women's bodies after the abortion. So, let’s talk about how to deal with heavy menstrual flow after abortion.

Menstruation in women is the result of the interaction between the cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, pituitary gland, ovaries and uterus, and is regulated by neuroendocrine. When a person is under excessive stress, fear, sadness, overwork or undergoing surgery, the functions of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, ovaries and uterus can be suppressed through the neuroendocrine system, leading to heavy menstrual flow after miscarriage. After the operation, women may feel nervous and frightened. These negative mental factors may cause irregular menstruation, which may lead to heavy menstrual flow after painless abortion. After painless abortion, endocrine changes occur, especially the sudden drop in chorionic gonadotropin levels, which makes the ovaries unable to respond normally to the gonadotropin from the anterior pituitary gland, causing heavy menstrual flow after painless abortion. Nowadays, many female friends do not understand what they need to pay attention to after having a painless abortion.

First, you should pay attention to observe the bleeding after painless abortion. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after painless abortion, and is even accompanied by abnormal symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for follow-up examination and treatment in time to avoid worsening of the condition.

Second, the first thing is to pay attention to rest after the painless abortion. Generally speaking, you should rest in bed for 2 to 3 days after the painless abortion. You can get out of bed and move around later, and gradually increase 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.

Third, in order to improve one's own immunity, proper nutrition supplementation should be carried out to ensure adequate daily intake of foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meat, fresh fish, eggs, milk or soy products. After painless abortion, you should eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, soy products and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up your body's recovery.

Do not take a sitz bath within half a month after the operation to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection. In fact, after an artificial abortion, the ovaries can generally resume ovulation function within 22 days, and menstruation will occur in about 1 month.

This situation generally returns to normal after 2-3 months, and for a few people it lasts longer.
