Post-abortion care

Many people who don't want to get pregnant will resort to some means of abortion. Although abortion is simple to operate, due to the rich blood vessels in the uterus during pregnancy, abnormalities may occur if not handled with care. Abortion may also cause some bleeding, postoperative residues, and some symptoms of uterine perforation, which are all common. The main pathological cause is that it is difficult to get pregnant. Generally, people who do not want to have children try to have an artificial abortion within ten weeks.

You should choose a regular hospital for abortion and select the appropriate abortion method, as well as the appropriate time for the operation. However, you must conduct timely check-ups and some preventive measures in your life. If you have had an abortion, you must pay attention to post-abortion care and eat some healthy food.

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, eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, bean products and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to promote early repair of damaged endometrium;

2. Keep the vulva clean. Sexual intercourse and bathing are strictly prohibited within one month.

3. Observe the bleeding. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after an abortion, or is even accompanied by lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, and other abnormal symptoms, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up visit in time.

It is recommended to place an intrauterine contraceptive device at the same time as an abortion and to take short-acting contraceptives orally after the abortion. Contraception must be the main method, and abortion cannot be used as a contraceptive measure.
