How many days of normal uterine contractions after induced labor

Induced labor is usually performed on pregnant women who are older in pregnancy, because the fetus has already taken shape at this stage of pregnancy, and the failure rate of artificial abortion is extremely high. Amniocentesis is usually required before induced labor, so compared with abortion, induced labor is more harmful to women's bodies. Induced labor also involves inserting medical instruments deep into the female uterus to expel the fetus, so uterine contractions will occur after induced labor. But how many days is normal for uterine contractions to last after induced labor?

1. How long does it take for uterine contractions to occur after induction of labor?

After induced labor, the uterus will gradually return to its normal size through contraction. It takes some time for the uterus to recover after induced labor. Uterine contraction pain usually occurs 1 to 2 days after delivery and disappears naturally after 2 to 3 days. If the period is advanced, uterine contraction may take a week, and uterine recovery may take about 6 weeks.

Whether it is induced labor or miscarriage, it is a painful process for women and will cause great trauma to their reproductive system. Therefore, you should pay more attention to these matters after induced abortion, fully supplement nutrition, pay attention to hygiene, and avoid having sex (you have to wait until the uterus has fully recovered, the shortest time is 42 days and the longest time is 3 months).

After a woman has an induced abortion, her uterus and cervix are traumatized. If sexual intercourse occurs at this time, the male's genitals will bring in bacteria, and the traumatized uterus will easily become infected and inflamed, which is very harmful to the female body and can easily lead to endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. You may not feel it when you are young, but it will show up when you are older. Therefore, do not have sex within one month after induced abortion or miscarriage.

2. What causes lower abdominal pain after induced abortion?

1. Incomplete induced labor: Induced labor in an informal hospital is likely to result in incomplete labor. This is mainly because the villi and decidual tissue in the uterine cavity cannot be completely cleared during the induction of labor. After induced abortion, the uterus undergoes paroxysmal contractions in order to expel the remaining embryonic tissue from the uterus. At this time, the patient will have paroxysmal attacks of abdominal pain, which are unbearable and have symptoms such as increased vaginal bleeding.

2. Uterine perforation during induced labor: This is a relatively serious complication that occurs during induced labor surgery. Patients will have different symptoms when perforated. Some patients may experience sudden and severe abdominal pain, but a small number of people will not have any obvious feeling.

3. Infection after induced abortion: Infection after induced abortion often occurs within 2 weeks after the operation. It can be caused directly by the surgical operation or by the patient's lack of attention to hygiene after the operation, such as having sexual intercourse, swimming, etc. It usually causes acute pelvic inflammatory disease, with severe abdominal pain that lasts for a long time, accompanied by fever, chills, vaginal bleeding or yellow discharge.

4. Uterine snow: It often occurs within a few hours after induced labor. The patient has unbearable abdominal pain, like a knife cut, and a small amount of blood and water will flow out of the vagina. Gynecological examination reveals that the uterus is significantly enlarged, soft, and tender.
