What causes swelling after abortion?

Because the abortion process causes a huge loss of qi and blood in the female body, there will be many changes in the female body after the abortion. Therefore, in order to promote the body's recovery, women should also choose a special confinement period after abortion, because this will allow their bodies to return to normal levels. But what if a woman notices facial swelling after an abortion?

The initial consideration is that the facial edema is caused by physical weakness after abortion, or the edema is caused by excessive water in the body. Facial edema is related to spleen and kidney deficiency. It is recommended to be hospitalized in the obstetrics department for a few days for observation, get more rest, pay more attention to eating a light diet, and avoid spicy and greasy foods.

Why do I feel sore in my legs after an abortion?

After an abortion, women become weak and have a cold spleen and stomach. The human spleen is the place where blood is produced and hematopoiesis occurs. If there is a problem with the spleen, it can easily lead to qi deficiency and blood weakness. If the legs do not get enough blood support, they are prone to soreness and weakness. In this case, women need to eat more red dates or use Chinese medicine to replenish the body's qi and blood. Early treatment is recommended to prevent the condition from becoming serious.

Malnutrition or exposure of the legs to cold, dampness, etc. may cause soreness. Women need a period of rest after an abortion because the body needs a period of self-repair. If you don't pay attention to keeping warm, your already weak body will easily be harmed by moisture and wind, causing soreness in your legs and feet. In this case, you should supplement more nutrition and keep warm. Women should rest at home on windy days and wear more clothes when going out.

It may be because women have low immunity. It is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and trace elements. Walk moderately during bed rest to promote blood circulation and improve the body's resistance. Take some qi-replenishing and blood-nourishing medicines under the guidance of a doctor, such as Angelica dahurica, Saposhnikovia divaricata, Achyranthes bidentata, etc. When taking Chinese medicine, you should eat a light diet to avoid reducing the efficacy of the medicine.

To sum up, it is normal for women to feel sore legs after abortion. This is due to low immunity or colds. Women need careful care and conditioning after abortion and should not overwork themselves. You should supplement your nutrition and eat more milk, vegetables, fruits and high-quality meat. You can rest in bed, but you should also pay attention to walking around properly to avoid blood stasis and poor blood circulation.
