Do I need to stay in confinement after 40 days of medical abortion?

For some women, pregnancy is considered accidental. Due to physical or life reasons, they want to have children, so they choose abortion. The method of abortion depends on how long the pregnancy has lasted. Medical abortion is suitable for the early pregnancy, that is, when the pregnancy is just checked and there is no plan to give birth. After forty days of medical abortion, you still need to take care of the confinement period. After all, abortion is a heavy blow to the uterus and the body. If the care is not good, it may cause some inflammation, and even if the uterus is not cleaned properly, another uterine curettage operation will be required. This double injury casts a great shadow on women's psychology. Therefore, women who choose medical abortion to end the life of the fetus must take good care of the confinement period.

1. The breasts should be “unblocked”

The newly developed mammary gland stops growing, the alveoli become smaller and even disappear, and the mammary gland recovers. However, this recovery is usually incomplete, so it can easily induce lobular hyperplasia of the breast, causing breast lumps and breast pain. “If the meridians are blocked, there will be pain.” If you dredge the meridians as soon as possible and get the suddenly stagnant Qi and blood flowing again, you can avoid breast lumps and breast pain caused by improper confinement. Commonly used “dredging” methods include “Abortion Protective Soup” and so on.

2. Protect your uterus

During the confinement period, the uterus should be fully protected, including increasing the resistance of the uterus, promoting rapid repair of the uterus, and thoroughly expelling blood stasis. You can use the "Abortion Protection Soup" alone.

Traditional Chinese medicine points out that: "The care required for a miscarriage is ten times that for a normal birth", which means that abortion or miscarriage suddenly terminates the normal physiological process of the human body, which causes greater harm than a normal delivery, so you must pay attention to care. Although it doesn’t mean you have to stay in bed for 10 months, you should at least stay in bed for half a month after a miscarriage.

If you go to the hospital and pass the pregnancy test, but don’t want to give birth to the child, and finally choose to have a medical abortion. Your doctor will usually prescribe you three days of medication, a newer endocrine drug called mifepristone.

After pregnancy, a woman's body produces the hormone progesterone, which is an element in maintaining pregnancy. When a woman takes mifepristone, the drug reduces the activity of progesterone, which can cause miscarriage.

This is the principle of medical abortion. After taking the medicine for the third day, the woman's uterus will experience strong contractions, which will prompt the uterus to expel the gestational sac villi from the body. During this process, the uterus will feel the same pain as giving birth, but the pain may not last as long. The duration of uterine contraction varies depending on your physical condition, and the intense pain usually lasts about 10-30 minutes.
