How long does it take to have an abortion?

Abortion usually takes a month, which is the same time as normal delivery. In addition, the woman needs to be well cared for during the confinement period and undergo a uterine cleaning, otherwise she will become infertile. The short confinement period can easily cause symptoms of vaginitis or adnexitis. Women need to pay attention to vaginal hygiene, eat more blood-enriching and blood-activating foods, promote the discharge of lochia, and take good care of the confinement period after miscarriage.

When you accidentally get pregnant, you usually need to rest for half a month or a month after the operation. This is called "small confinement month."

The “small confinement period” also requires good care. If not properly cared for, it can easily cause vaginitis, adnexitis, acute and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, dysmenorrhea, cervicitis, cervical erosion, salpingitis, fallopian tube obstruction, infertility and other diseases.

2. How long does the confinement period last?

Experts point out that women should not rush to go out to work after having an abortion, as it takes at least 2 to 3 days for the body to recuperate. Of course, if they can ensure more than half a month for physical recovery after the operation, I believe the possibility of suffering from minor problems after the operation will be smaller. You need to rest for at least 2 weeks after a miscarriage.

The appropriate time to have sexual intercourse is 2 months after delivery. It takes about 8 weeks for a woman's reproductive organs to return to normal after a miscarriage. The enlarged vaginal mucosa becomes very thin and easily damaged, and it takes some time to recover.

4. Can postpartum diseases be cured by a short confinement period?

Although when a human body is pregnant, after a period of pregnancy, some of the body's potential functions will be activated, as if it is a small rebirth. I have heard that there are female athletes abroad who use exercise to recover their bodies after pregnancy in order to make their bodies stronger. Clinically, some people's original diseases have miraculously disappeared after pregnancy and childbirth.

However, the short confinement period is not very effective because the time is too short compared to giving birth, and it cannot achieve the desired effect. Moreover, if you are not careful, it may aggravate previous postpartum illnesses. It is recommended that you find a good Chinese medicine doctor to treat previous postpartum illnesses. Do not use this method. There is a way to treat postpartum illnesses, it’s just that you have not found the right Chinese medicine doctor.

5. Precautions for postpartum period

You need to rest in bed for 2-3 days after the abortion. Pay attention to rest and strengthen various nutrition

1. Pay attention to proper rest after the operation. It is best to rest in bed for the first three days. Because after an artificial abortion, a wound is left on the endometrium. If you move too early, it may prolong the vaginal bleeding time. Generally, you should avoid physical labor and physical exercise within half a month.

2. Increase nutrition appropriately, because the operation will cause a small amount of bleeding and cause certain damage to the body, so you should promptly supplement with some foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as lean meat, fresh fish, eggs, milk or soy products.

Pay close attention to the bleeding after abortion to prevent the condition from getting worse

Observe the bleeding situation. After the placenta is separated during artificial abortion, there may be a small amount of bleeding on the wound left on the uterine wall. In this case, as the uterus contracts and the wound repairs, vaginal bleeding usually stops gradually in 3-5 days and does not exceed 10-15 days at most. If the amount of vaginal bleeding exceeds the amount of menstrual blood, lasts too long, and is even accompanied by abnormal symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should consider the possibility of infection or the presence of residues in the uterus, and seek medical treatment in time.

Keep the vulva clean and hygienic, and refrain from sexual intercourse within one month

After the abortion, please be careful not to have sexual intercourse within one month and do not take a sitz bath within two weeks to prevent infection. If you have fever, abdominal pain, or secretions with an unusual odor, seek medical attention immediately.

Pay attention to contraception to avoid another unexpected pregnancy

After an abortion, the functions of the ovaries and uterus gradually recover, and the ovaries ovulate on schedule. If you do not insist on taking contraceptive measures, pregnancy again will have a great impact on the female body. Therefore, you must insist on taking contraceptive measures, and it is best not to get pregnant again within six months.
