Things to note before abortion

Abortion is a medical way to terminate pregnancy, and you need to pay attention to some things before doing it. You need to check the size of the gestational sac and whether you have vaginitis. If you have vaginitis, it will easily affect the abortion operation. You also need to pay attention to the time of the operation and be mentally prepared before doing it.

What should you pay attention to before the flow?

No sexual intercourse is allowed for three days before an abortion. Before an abortion, you must go to the hospital's gynecology department to confirm whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy, and have a blood test to check the size of the gestational sac. At the same time, check the routine leucorrhea. Only after confirming that there is no vaginitis can you have an abortion. Before the abortion, you only need to complete the preoperative examination. On the day of the operation, you must avoid eating too much, and it is best to be on an empty stomach, because most abortions are now painless. Bring a sanitary napkin before the operation.

Step 1: Choose a regular hospital.

First of all, those who want to have an abortion need to go to a regular hospital for treatment. This is the most basic. Usually, the equipment needed for an abortion operation in a regular hospital includes: disposable consumables used in the operation, negative pressure aspirator, B-ultrasound, ECG monitor, anesthesia machine, ventilator, etc., and painless abortion requires anesthesia, so anesthetic drugs are also included.

Step 2: Choose the appropriate abortion method.

There are many methods of abortion surgery, but choosing the one that suits you is the most important. The requirement for pregnancy time for painless abortion is more relaxed than that for medical abortion, and it is suitable for termination of pregnancy within 90%.

Step 3: Choose the appropriate time for surgery.

The timing of abortion surgery needs to be controlled. Generally speaking, we know that the best time for abortion is 35 to 65 days. If the pregnancy is too short, the embryo will be too small, which may lead to incomplete abortion. If the pregnancy is too long and the fetus is too large, the operation time will be prolonged, bleeding will increase, and the trauma to the patient will be significantly increased.

Step 4: Make adequate preparations before surgery.

If there is inflammation before abortion, it needs to be cured before surgery, otherwise it is easy for the infection to spread, resulting in serious consequences such as pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis.

Some female friends have heavy menstrual flow after painless abortion, which is also related to the following factors:

1. After the operation, women may feel nervous and frightened. These negative mental factors may cause irregular menstruation, resulting in heavy menstrual flow after painless abortion.

2. When women undergo surgery, too much of the endometrium is scraped away, so that the endometrium cannot be completely repaired in a short period of time, resulting in heavy menstrual flow.

3. Sexual intercourse should be avoided within one month after painless abortion. Some couples fail to do so, resulting in infection and inflammation of the uterine cavity, leading to heavy menstrual flow.

4. After painless abortion, endocrine changes occur, especially the sudden drop in chorionic gonadotropin levels, which makes the ovaries unable to respond normally to the gonadotropin from the anterior pituitary gland, causing heavy menstrual flow after painless abortion.
