Should I sleep on my side or flat on my back after abortion?

Under normal circumstances, whether you lie flat or on your side after an abortion, it will not affect the discharge of blood in the uterine cavity, because the uterus itself has the function of contraction, which will discharge the blood in the uterus as soon as possible, and the repair of the uterus will be normal. So after an abortion, should you sleep on your side or lie flat? Let's take a look at this issue below.

Should I sleep on my side or on my back after an abortion?

The uterus is in a state of retroflexion and posterior tilt. After abortion, the blood accumulated in the uterine cavity cannot be discharged smoothly. Therefore, it is best to rest in the prone position, so as to correct the position of the uterus and allow the blood accumulated in the uterine cavity to be discharged as soon as possible. In addition, it is also recommended to drink a bowl of hot brown sugar ginger water every day, which not only has the effect of dispelling cold and warming the uterus, eliminating fatigue, replenishing qi and blood, but also can make the blood accumulation in the uterine cavity discharge more smoothly.

This sleeping position should not have much impact, and sleeping on the right side is best. As long as you don't have to sleep on your stomach, other sleeping positions are relatively healthy.

Suggestions:

1. Pay attention to rest and improve nutritional elements. You should rest in bed for 2 to 3 days after the abortion, and then you can get out of bed and move around, and gradually increase your mobility. Do not do heavy work within ten days after the abortion and avoid contact with cold water. It takes about a month for the uterus to recover after an abortion. Therefore, we should pay attention to increasing nutritional elements, taking in a certain amount of protein, enhancing the body's resistance to symptoms, and promoting the rapid repair of injured internal organs. After the abortion, you should eat more fish, meat, eggs, beans, protein-rich foods and fruits rich in vitamins to speed up the body's recovery.
