How long does it take to get your period after an abortion?

After an abortion, a woman's menstrual period will be disordered, and menstruation may not occur in the first month. Menstruation will start in the second month, but the amount of menstruation is not much and the time is uncertain. Therefore, women should pay attention to their body's recovery after an abortion, and pay attention to personal hygiene issues, and then adjust their diet and daily routine, and pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva when menstruation comes.

How long does it take to get your period after an abortion?

1. Women must rest in time after undergoing an abortion to allow their bodies to recover better. The ovaries can usually resume ovulation within 22 days after an artificial abortion, so it can be inferred that menstruation will usually take a break for half a month or a month about one month after the abortion. Because of new trauma to the uterus and vaginal bleeding, retrograde infection is prone to occur. Bathing in a tub is prohibited before the bleeding is clean, and sexual intercourse is prohibited within one month.

2. After the abortion, we must pay attention to personal hygiene, such as cleaning the vulva every day, but be careful not to let sewage flow into the vagina.

3. Although we need to take a proper rest after the operation, we cannot lie in bed every day. We should do appropriate activities to facilitate the discharge of blood accumulated in the uterus.

4. Pay attention to nutritional balance and ensure the intake of protein, such as eggs, milk, fish, poultry, meat, etc., and eat more vegetables and fruits. However, you should be careful to eat less raw, cold and hard food to avoid irritating the intestines and causing indigestion. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can take some soups and medicated meals according to your preferences.

Things to note after abortion

1. Within 2 weeks after the operation, rest in bed appropriately and avoid heavy physical labor.

2. Do not take a sitz bath within 2 weeks after an abortion or before vaginal bleeding has stopped.

3. Keep the vulva clean and hygienic, wash it with warm water 1 to 2 times a day, and change sanitary napkins frequently.

4. As long as you resume your sexual life after a painless abortion, you must take contraceptive measures to avoid getting pregnant again.

5. You need to rest after the painless abortion and prevent catching a cold. Eat more nutritious food to restore your body to normal as soon as possible.

6. Avoid sexual intercourse within 1 month to prevent genital organ infection. If you have fever, abdominal pain, or vaginal discharge with an unusual odor, seek medical attention immediately.

7. After painless abortion, the ovaries will resume ovulation in about 1 month, followed by menstruation. Therefore, as soon as you resume your sexual life after a painless abortion, you must take contraceptive measures to avoid getting pregnant again. This is a point that should be paid special attention to when doing painless abortion.

8. After painless abortion surgery, the body is weak and prone to sweating. Therefore, water evaporation should be reduced. A lot of water-soluble vitamins are excreted in sweat, especially vitamin C, vitamin B1, and vitamin B2. Therefore, you should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. This also helps prevent constipation.

9. For a period of time after painless abortion, the trauma on the endometrium has not yet recovered, the cervical opening is relaxed, the original mucus plug in the cervix (which has the function of preventing bacteria from entering the uterine cavity) has been removed, and the new mucus plug has not yet formed. If you do not pay attention to the hygiene of the vulva at this time, bacteria in the vagina can easily enter the uterine cavity and cause infection.

10. During painless abortion, after the placenta is separated, there may be a small amount of bleeding on the wound left on the uterine wall. In this case, as the uterus contracts and the wound repairs, vaginal bleeding will gradually stop in 3 to 5 days and will not exceed 10 to 15 days at most. If the amount of vaginal bleeding exceeds the amount of menstrual blood and lasts too long, you need to seek medical treatment promptly.

11. You must maintain a good mood after the abortion. Do not put too much pressure on yourself after the operation. This will pose some threats to your health and may affect future pregnancy. Therefore, you must be able to keep yourself in a good mood. Another point is not to stay up late, as these have a very big impact.
