How many days should I sit and take a bath during the confinement period?

After having an abortion, people generally call this period of time "confinement month". Although the current medical level has improved, miscarriage still leaves great harm to the body. During the confinement period, you should pay special attention to rest, because private parts may be infected after miscarriage, so you cannot take a bath for a certain period of time.

How many days can I take a bath during the confinement period?

1. Women generally need to rest for more than ten days or a month after an abortion. This period of time is called "confinement month" in folk customs. After abortion, due to new trauma to the uterus and vaginal bleeding, retrograde infection is very likely to occur. Therefore, it is forbidden to sit in a bath before the blood is clean, and sexual life is forbidden within one month. After an abortion, you should pay attention to the cleaning of your private parts, clean your vulva every day, and be careful not to let waste water enter the vagina.

2. During the rest period, try to do some exercise to help the blood in the uterus be discharged. It is also wrong not to take a bath and not to get up and move around. Although prenatal surgery is a relatively safe minimally invasive surgery, the uterus, ovaries and other related organs still need to undergo a repair process. If the treatment is good, the body can be restored to its original state. If you do not pay attention to conditioning, your physical and mental health may go downhill, and in serious cases, it may even lead to infertility in the future. So, you can take a bath one week after the confinement period.

How to provide medical care during the confinement period

1. During the confinement period, you must take a bath in a quiet and safe place. The bathroom should be warm. You can turn on the integrated bathroom heater and other bathroom heating equipment in advance, and adjust the room temperature to 20℃ before entering. The temperature should be around 37℃ or slightly higher. The bathing time does not need to be too long, 5 to 10 minutes is appropriate.

2. Avoid excessive sweating when taking a bath, as excessive sweating can cause dizziness, stuffiness, nausea, vomiting, etc. Do not touch cold water to avoid abdominal pain, irregular menstruation, body pain, etc.

3. During the confinement period, you must take a shower, not a bath in a tub. After washing, wipe off the water on the body as soon as possible, put on warm clothes in time before leaving the shower room to avoid catching cold or being blown by the wind. Pay attention to oral health and use warm water for mouthwash.

4. Wipe your hair immediately after washing. Combing your hair with a comb is beneficial to promote blood circulation. Dirty hair will damage the hair follicles and make the hair easy to fall out. Therefore, you should wash and comb your hair, but avoid the invasion of moisture.

5. After abortion, the body's immunity decreases, so more attention should be paid to cleanliness and hygiene. Because there are wounds on the uterine wall, female secretions increase, making it a breeding ground for bacteria infection and reproduction.

Although you can take a bath after one week of confinement, you must still pay attention to rest and conditioning so that the body can recover to its original state. Especially during the confinement period, it is necessary to effectively care for the body, pay attention to hygiene, wash underwear frequently, and avoid further infection. During this period, you should also maintain a happy mood, which can speed up the body's recovery.
