The dangers of first abortion

Today's women's sexual awareness is very open, and many women have sex before getting married. Some women may not adopt timely contraceptive methods, which leads to many women getting pregnant unexpectedly. Women without the guarantee of marriage cannot give birth normally, so many women choose abortion. In fact, abortion is very harmful to women. So what are the dangers of having an abortion for the first time?

Is the first abortion dangerous?

1. Uterine blood accumulation after painless abortion

Intrauterine hematoma often occurs within a few hours after abortion. Abortion patients have unbearable abdominal pain. Gynecological examination reveals that the uterus is significantly enlarged, soft, and tender. At this time, curettage is needed immediately to remove the blood in the uterine cavity, and oxytocin and antibiotics should be given for treatment.

2. Uterine perforation after painless abortion

Uterine perforation is a very serious complication that occurs during artificial abortion. Most patients experience sudden severe abdominal pain when the rupture occurs, but a small number of people may not feel any obvious pain. The abdominal pain caused by uterine perforation is persistent and there is vaginal bleeding. Conservative treatment can be used when the rupture is small, there is no damage to the bladder, duodenum and other internal organs, and there is no rupture of capillaries. If there is still residual tissue in the uterine cavity, the curettage can be performed again after the condition improves.

3. Infection after painless abortion surgery

It is one of the most common recent complications of abortion. Post-abortion infection often occurs within two weeks after the operation and may be caused directly by the abortion operation. It usually causes acute pelvic inflammatory disease, with severe abdominal pain that is persistent and may intensify in waves, accompanied by fever, chills, or yellow discharge. It is the key cause of lower abdominal pain after abortion. During physical examination, the patient refuses to press on the abdomen, and there is tenderness and rebound pain. Gynecological examination revealed cervical lifting tenderness and uterine tenderness, with significant tenderness.

Common problems after abortion

1. Pay attention to rest and improve nutrition. You should rest in bed for 2-3 days after the abortion, then you can get out of bed and move around, and gradually increase your activity level. Do not engage in heavy physical work or work in cold water within half a month after the abortion to avoid catching a cold. Pay attention to increasing nutrition, eat more fish, meat, eggs, beans and other protein-rich foods and fruits rich in vitamins to promote the early repair of damaged organs.

2. Keep the vulva clean and refrain from sexual intercourse. After an abortion, the cervix has not completely closed, and the uterine wall also has a repair process. During this period, you must pay attention to maintaining daily cleaning of the vulva, and wash and change sanitary napkins and underwear frequently. You do not need to take a bath in a tub within about half a month after the operation to prevent turbid water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If you have sex too soon after an abortion, it can easily lead to subacute endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and even secondary infertility. Therefore, couples are prohibited from having sexual intercourse within one month after an abortion.

3. Observe the bleeding situation. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after abortion, or is even accompanied by lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid discharge with odor and other abnormal symptoms, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination in time.

4. Adhere to good contraceptive measures. After abortion, the functions of the uterus, ovaries and uterus gradually recover, and the uterus and ovaries ovulate on time. If you do not persist in taking contraceptive measures, you will get pregnant again soon. Therefore, after an abortion, a reliable contraceptive method should be chosen as soon as possible, and contraception should always be the main method. Abortion should not be used as a substitute for contraceptive sterilization surgery.
