What should you pay attention to after induced abortion

Before choosing induced labor, pregnant women must be mentally prepared, because the process of induced labor will not only bring severe pain to pregnant women, but also after induced labor, pregnant women will obviously feel physical weakness and may even suffer from serious sequelae. Induced labor is mainly for pregnant women who are in advanced stages of pregnancy. At this time, the fetus has already taken shape, and the pregnant woman's qi and blood loss will be more serious. The following will explain to women what to pay attention to after induced abortion.

1. You need to stay in the hospital for 3-5 days after the induced abortion surgery. Pay attention to the contraction of the uterus and prevent heavy bleeding. Because induced abortion surgery is very traumatic to the body, you need to rest for at least two weeks after the surgery. It is not advisable to sit or stand for a long time, let alone do high-intensity work. Try to rest in bed as much as possible.

2. Because induced abortion surgery causes a lot of bleeding, you should pay attention to increasing nutrition after the surgery. Avoid eating raw, cold, spicy and irritating foods. Eat more foods that replenish qi and blood and clear blood stasis. For example: red dates, lotus root, eggs, milk, chicken, fish, animal liver, soy products, millet porridge, brown sugar water, fresh vegetables and fruits, etc., foods rich in protein and vitamins, nutritious and digestive.

3. After the operation, you need to wear loose clothes on your lower body, keep your lower body clean within one month, and rinse the vulva with clean water in the morning and evening. If lochia is discharged, you can use toilet paper specially for women and babies to pad your underwear. Try not to use sanitary pads as toilet paper is more breathable than sanitary pads. Change and wash your underwear frequently, scald the underwear you take off with hot water, and expose it to the sun to disinfect it. You can take a hot shower 3 days after the operation, but you cannot take a sitz bath. However, you should close the doors and windows and keep the room temperature low.

If pregnancy is required, it will take more than half a year. Otherwise it will cause great harm to the body. Women must take care of their bodies.

5. For postoperative health care, the first thing to do is to keep warm and the room temperature should not be too low. If it is summer, don't let the air conditioner or fan blow towards you. Keep your feet, abdomen and head warm. Soak your feet in hot water every night and apply a hot water bottle to your abdomen. You can do some appropriate exercises three days after the operation to help the discharge of lochia and the recovery of the uterus.

6. Pay attention to vaginal bleeding after the operation. If the bleeding lasts for a long time or is persistent, seek medical attention immediately. You should go to the hospital for a checkup one month after the operation to check the recovery of your uterus.
