Precautions after curettage

Speaking of curettage, I believe all female friends should know what it is. Yes, it is also a kind of abortion surgery, and it is also the only way to remove pregnancy tissue that is still in the uterus after many medical abortions or natural abortions. Although curettage is not a major operation, it does cause some harm to the female body. In order to reduce the harm, you must pay attention to care after curettage.

If you want to take good care of it after curettage, you should first understand what are the precautions after curettage. Only by understanding these can you choose the appropriate care method according to your own situation after curettage, so that your body can recover as soon as possible.

In clinical practice, curettage is divided into diagnostic curettage and therapeutic curettage. General diagnostic curettage is suitable for endocrine abnormalities, which require understanding of endometrial changes and responses to sex hormones, the presence or absence of ovulation, the presence or absence of tuberculosis, etc. Segmented diagnostic curettage refers to the operation of first scraping the cervical canal and then the uterine cavity. The scrapings are sent for pathological examination separately. It is suitable for diagnosing cervical cancer, endometrial cancer and other uterine malignancies, and can understand the range of the cancer.

Things women need to pay attention to after undergoing curettage:

1. After the curettage, you need to rest in the hospital for half an hour to one hour. You can leave the hospital only if you do not feel any special discomfort.

2. Due to the trauma left in the endometrium after curettage, there will be vaginal bleeding within two weeks after the operation. Generally, the amount of blood is less than or similar to the menstrual amount, which is normal. If the bleeding has not stopped for more than two weeks or the amount of blood exceeds the menstrual volume, please go to the hospital immediately.

3. Due to the pain stimulation during the operation, you may sweat a lot. Therefore, after the operation, you should pay attention to keeping warm, avoid wind and cold, prevent external infection, and avoid excessive use of air conditioning in midsummer.

4. Keep the perineum clean and dry, and change sanitary napkins frequently. Wash the vulva with clean water every night and dry it with a clean and dry towel. Never use your hands to clean your vagina, and do not use any medicated lotions to rinse your vagina.

5. Abdominal pain occurs due to uterine contraction after the operation, which usually subsides in about half an hour to an hour. If you experience severe abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding with large blood clots, and high fever after a few hours or days, please go to the hospital immediately.

In addition to the above-mentioned precautions after curettage, there are also things you need to pay attention to in life. For example, it is best to rest at home for a week, and make sure your body gets enough rest within 2 weeks. Do not do too much physical work, and pay attention to the nutritional combination of your daily diet, so that your uterus can recover as soon as possible.
