How long after abortion can I have a child?

No matter what kind of abortion, it will cause great trauma to the uterus. Therefore, the uterus has a surgical recovery period after abortion. Of course, this period varies from person to person. It is recommended that a longer period of time is good for the recovery of all aspects of the uterine function. It is best to rest for more than half a year after abortion before considering pregnancy to allow the uterus to recover, which is beneficial to the health of the baby. The uterus has a memory function. If it is not repaired well, it is easy to have miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. The shorter the interval between pregnancies, the more likely it is to have miscarriage.

For women who have undergone abortion, the uterine wall will suffer a certain degree of damage due to the suction and scraping of the equipment in the uterine cavity. In order for the endometrium to recover, an adjustment process is required. In clinical medicine, we often encounter women who have undergone abortion and have irregular menstruation in the first few times, indicating that the uterine wall needs to be repaired. Although abortion generally does not affect future pregnancy, other accidents may occur, such as infection, bleeding, intrauterine adhesions, cervical relaxation, etc., which require timely treatment.

Due to the reasons mentioned above, women who have undergone abortion should not get pregnant again too early to prevent incomplete development of the test tube embryo due to physical overdraft, poor recovery of the body's endocrine function, poor growth and development of the uterine wall, etc., which may lead to spontaneous abortion. If you want to have a healthy baby, you have to be patient and wait. It is not too late to get pregnant after waiting for your energy to recover, your endocrine system to adjust and your uterine wall to look good.

Common problems after abortion surgery

1. Pay attention to rest and improve nutrition.

You should rest in bed for 2-3 days after the abortion, then you can get out of bed and move around, and gradually increase your activity level. Do not engage in heavy physical work or work in cold water within half a month after the abortion to avoid catching a cold. Pay attention to increasing nutrition, eat more fish, meat, eggs, beans and other protein-rich foods and fruits rich in vitamins to promote the early repair of damaged organs.

2. Keep the vulva clean and refrain from sexual intercourse.

After an abortion, the cervix has not completely closed, and the uterine wall also has a repair process. During this period, you must pay attention to maintaining daily cleaning of the vulva, and wash and change sanitary napkins and underwear frequently. You do not need to take a bath in a tub within about half a month after the operation to prevent turbid water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If you have sex too soon after an abortion, it can easily lead to subacute endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and secondary infertility. Therefore, couples are prohibited from having sexual intercourse within one month after an abortion.

3. Observe the bleeding situation.

If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after abortion, or is even accompanied by lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid discharge with odor and other abnormal phenomena, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination in time.

4. Adhere to good contraceptive measures.

After abortion, the functions of the uterus, ovaries and uterus gradually recover, and the uterus and ovaries ovulate on time. If you do not persist in taking contraceptive measures, you will get pregnant again soon. Therefore, after an abortion, a reliable contraceptive method should be chosen as soon as possible, and contraception should always be the main method. Abortion should not be used as a substitute for contraceptive sterilization surgery.

5. Make good adjustments to your diet.

Within ten days after abortion, 1.5 to 2 grams of protein should be provided per kilogram of body weight. Therefore, you can eat more chicken breast, lean pork, eggs, dairy products, bean products, and bean products. In addition, because the human body is weak and prone to sweating, it is better to replenish water with small meals. More water-soluble vitamins are excreted in sweat, especially vitamin C, vitamin B1, and vitamin B2. Therefore, you should eat more fruits and vegetables. In addition, on the basis of a normal diet, body fat should be appropriately limited. Within one week after surgery, body fat should be controlled at about 80 grams per day. People with irregular menstruation should avoid eating irritating foods, such as chili peppers, wine, vinegar, pepper, ginger, etc. These foods can stimulate blood circulation in human organs and increase menstrual volume. They should also avoid eating cold foods such as hairy crabs, snails, and river clams.

6. Pay attention to postoperative complications.

The complications of artificial abortion include abnormal uterine bleeding, vaginal bleeding, pelvic inflammatory disease, irregular menstruation, secondary infertility, etc. Therefore, you must pay attention to the changes in your body at any time after the operation, and seek medical attention immediately if you find any abnormalities.
