How long does it take to have a medical abortion?

Some women in life often have some gynecological diseases after medical abortion, which will lead to the consequence of being unable to get pregnant. In fact, this has a lot to do with the care after medical abortion. After a medical abortion, women should rest quietly, avoid doing a lot of activities, pay attention to their nutritional intake, and also need to take a confinement period after a medical abortion. So, how long does it take to have a medical abortion?

How many days is appropriate for medical abortion confinement?

The appropriate number of days for medical abortion confinement is mainly determined by the recovery of the mother. Here are the factors that affect women's recovery:

(1) Prohibition of sexual intercourse: Some people bleed for a long time after medical abortion, some for a short time, and some for occasional bleeding. In either case, sexual intercourse is prohibited until menstruation occurs. Because the cervix is ​​in a relaxed state during medical abortion, its effect in preventing bacteria from entering the uterine cavity is weakened. During sexual intercourse, bacteria hidden in the male foreskin and bacteria in the female vulva, vagina, and cervix can take the opportunity to ascend and infect the uterine cavity; at the same time, the blood sinuses are open after the embryonic tissue is peeled off, making them easy to be infected by bacteria.

(2) Do not wash the basin, do not do vaginal douching, and do not swim within one month after medical abortion.

(3) The sanitary napkins and toilet paper used should be of qualified products; sanitary napkins should be changed frequently; underwear made of synthetic fabrics should not be worn; underwear should be changed and washed daily.

Precautions for post-medication abortion care

1. Generally, there is a bleeding period of 7-14 days after medical abortion, but sometimes it may be earlier or later. If the bleeding time is longer or the amount of bleeding is heavier, and symptoms such as abdominal pain occur, it is highly likely that the medical abortion is incomplete. You need to go to the hospital in time for a clear diagnosis and take appropriate treatment measures.

2. Generally speaking, the rest time for medical abortion is 3-5 days. Even if you are working, you should pay more attention to rest. Of course, this time is closely related to personal constitution and varies from person to person. If a woman takes proper care after a medical abortion, her body will recover quickly, so care is very important.

3. You should go back for a check-up one week after the medical abortion to see if the abortion is complete. If your menstruation comes one month later, it means that your ovaries have resumed ovulation. In other words, you need to check again one month later and if everything is normal, it means that both the uterus and ovaries have recovered. The harm of medical abortion to women is no less than that of giving birth, so it is also necessary to pay attention to the follow-up care after a medical abortion. As for how many days of confinement after a medical abortion is appropriate, it needs to be determined based on the woman's physical condition after the abortion. The time limit cannot be determined blindly. Too long or too short a time is not conducive to the woman's recovery, so the time limit for confinement after a medical abortion varies from person to person.
