Is it better to lie flat or sideways after abortion?

Under normal circumstances, whether lying flat or lying on your side after an abortion, it will not affect the discharge of the accumulated blood in the uterine cavity, because the uterus itself also has a contraction function, which will discharge the accumulated blood in the uterine cavity as soon as possible, and the recovery of the uterus will return to normal immediately.

However, you may need to choose a resting position in the following situations. For example, if the uterus is in a retroflexed and tilted position, the blood accumulated in the uterine cavity cannot be discharged smoothly after the abortion. Therefore, it is best to rest in the prone position 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, relieving fatigue, replenishing blood and qi, but also can make the accumulated blood 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 sleep on your stomach, other sleeping positions are relatively healthier.

Suggestions: 1. Pay attention to rest and improve nutrition. You should rest in bed for 2 to 3 days after the abortion, then you can get out of bed and move around, and gradually increase your activity level. Do not do heavy physical work within half a month after the abortion and avoid touching cold water. It takes about a month for the uterus to recover after an abortion. Therefore, we should pay attention to increasing nutrition, taking in a certain amount of protein, enhancing the body's resistance to disease, and promoting the early repair of injured 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.

2. Keep the vulva clean and hygienic, and sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited. After the abortion, the cervix has not yet closed, and the uterine wall also has a repair process. During this period, you should pay attention to maintaining the daily cleanliness of the vulva. You don't need to take a sitz bath within about half a month after the operation to prevent unclean water from entering the vagina, causing bacterial erosion and infection. Do not have sex within one month after the abortion.

3. Observe the bleeding situation and resolutely prevent the condition from getting worse. If vaginal bleeding after abortion lasts for more than one week, and is accompanied by lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid vaginal discharge with odor and other symptoms, you should go to the hospital for follow-up treatment in time.

4. Pay attention to contraceptive measures to prevent pregnancy again. After the abortion, the functions of the uterus, ovaries and uterus gradually recover, and the uterus and ovaries ovulate on time. If you don't persist in taking good contraceptive measures, you will get pregnant again soon. Some women become pregnant again in the same month after having an abortion, which has a greater impact on the human body. Therefore, a reliable contraceptive method should be chosen. Abortion should only be a rescue surgery as a last resort after accidental pregnancy. Abortion must not be used as a contraceptive measure to ensure the physical and mental health of women.
