How long after abortion can I drink alcohol

If a pregnant woman wants to terminate her pregnancy, she has two options: one is to choose medical abortion, and the other is to end the development of the embryo through surgery. In order to reduce the harm to the body, some female friends will choose to use medical abortion. How long after the medical abortion can you drink alcohol? Medical abortion is also very harmful to the body, so female friends must pay attention to their physical condition after the medical abortion. Let's learn about it together~

1. Can I drink alcohol after medical abortion?

After medical abortion, you should refrain from drinking alcohol within one month. In addition, you should also pay attention to the following matters:

You need to rest for 2 weeks after a miscarriage, keep the vulva clean and hygienic, eat less spicy and irritating food, and eat more nutritious food to restore your body to normal as soon as possible. Sexual intercourse, sitz baths, vaginal douching and medication are prohibited within one month after abortion. Because the cervix relaxes, the endometrium sheds, and the local defense ability decreases at this time, it is easy to cause retrograde infection, resulting in pelvic inflammation such as endometritis and adnexitis, which can cause infertility in severe cases. The amount of bleeding after miscarriage should be less than the amount of menstruation, the bleeding time should be less than 2 weeks, and the abdominal pain generally does not exceed 3 days. If it exceeds the above standards, intrauterine residues, incomplete uterine involution, uterine cavity infection, etc. should be considered, and you should actively go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis so as to receive symptomatic treatment.

You are not allowed to have sex within one month after a miscarriage, because during this time the body is in a recovery period, resistance and immunity are at a low stage, and the cervix is ​​open for a period of time. Having sex at this time is particularly prone to infection and gynecological inflammation, and in severe cases it can lead to infertility. Therefore, after medical abortion, it is advisable to have sex again after having a normal menstruation.

It is recommended that women who have undergone medical abortion pay attention to strengthening their nutrition, resting and avoiding overwork within 2 weeks after the abortion. It is advisable to go to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound check 15 days after medical abortion to see if the abortion is complete.

After medical abortion, the ovaries can generally resume ovulation function within 22 days, and menstruation will occur in about 1 month. However, a small number of women experience menstrual disorders such as prolonged menstruation, irregular cycles, and amenorrhea after medical abortion. This condition usually returns to normal after 2-3 months, but in a few people it lasts longer.

After an abortion, due to changes in hormone levels in the body and damage to the endometrium caused by drugs, most women will experience changes in their menstruation. Some people have an increase or decrease in menstrual volume, some have a delayed menstruation, and so on. After this happens, menstruation will slowly return to normal after about 2-3 cycles. Observe for a while. If you have long-term menstrual abnormalities, you can go to the hospital for examination.
