How to sit during the confinement period

In modern society, more and more women choose to have an abortion after an unexpected pregnancy. The method of abortion will cause great loss of women's qi and blood. If women do not pay attention to their body's recovery after the abortion, it will affect their future pregnancies. The confinement period mainly refers to the period of physical recovery that women need to go through after abortion. So how should we take care of ourselves during the confinement period?

How to take care of the baby during the confinement period

You should pay attention to rest after the abortion surgery, especially it is best to rest in bed for the first three days. After an artificial abortion, the endometrium will be left with a wound. If you get out of bed too early, vaginal bleeding may last longer, which is not conducive to the repair of internal wounds. Therefore, you should avoid excessive physical labor and exercise within half a month.

1. During the confinement period, you should increase your nutrition appropriately. Although the operation is very small, it will still cause a small amount of bleeding and your body will be damaged. Therefore, we should supplement some healthy foods rich in protein and vitamins such as eggs, soy products, lean meat, and fresh fish in time.

2. Because the operation will leave a wound on the uterine wall and be accompanied by a small amount of bleeding, it is necessary to observe the bleeding situation in time. This type of bleeding will generally stop gradually within 3-5 days as the uterus contracts, and will not exceed 10-15 days at most. However, once the amount of vaginal bleeding exceeds the amount of menstrual blood and lasts too long, and is accompanied by abnormal symptoms such as turbid leucorrhea, lower abdominal pain, fever, etc., you should worry about the presence of residues in the uterus and seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

3. About one month after an artificial abortion, women will resume normal ovulation, so you must continue to take contraceptive measures. Therefore, if you want to resume your sexual life with your spouse after an abortion, you must not be careless about contraception and must use the correct and appropriate contraceptive method to prevent another unwanted pregnancy.

4. Because miscarriage will cause the body's resistance to decrease, women should pay more attention to their personal hygiene. Especially after the uterus is damaged, increased vaginal discharge may occur. The vagina becomes the best place for bacterial infection and reproduction. Therefore, women should pay special attention to cleaning the vulva, use running water to wash the vulva, and disinfect the toilet paper used. Sexual intercourse should be prohibited within one month to prevent infection caused by sexual intercourse.

Things to note during the confinement period

Women are very weak during the confinement period and their body resistance will also decrease. At this time, they should pay attention to some matters to make the body recover faster.

1. You should stay in bed for the first three days after the operation. After three days to one week, you can gradually increase the time and intensity of activities. It is especially important to note that you should not engage in heavy physical labor during the first half of the month after childbirth, and you should also avoid contact with cold water and catching cold.

2. To improve women's nutrition, eat more protein-rich foods such as soy products, milk, fish, and eggs. You can also choose to eat blood-enriching foods such as dates and wolfberries, and eat more fresh vegetables to supplement vitamins to speed up the repair of body injuries.

3. Refrain from sexual intercourse and pay attention to personal hygiene. After an abortion, the cervix has not yet completely closed, and women are very susceptible to bacteria. Therefore, during this period of confinement, you should pay special attention to personal hygiene. For example, you should not take a bath within half a month after the operation to prevent stagnant water from entering the vagina. In addition, you should not have sexual intercourse for one month after an abortion to avoid artificial infection.

4. After the abortion, there will be vaginal bleeding for 3-5 days because the uterus will be damaged. So pay attention to women's vaginal bleeding.
