What to do if you feel weak after abortion

Some people do not need an abortion because they are not pregnant for long enough. At this time, people will choose to have a medical abortion by taking medicine. However, although medical abortion is scientific, it cannot guarantee that it will be complete. Moreover, the patient's body is very weak right after the abortion and it takes a period of conditioning to recover faster. How should you deal with the weak body after medical abortion?

Generally speaking, there will be irregular vaginal bleeding for about 15 days after medical abortion, and the specific bleeding time varies from person to person. However, if the bleeding has not stopped for more than 2 weeks after medical abortion, and the amount of bleeding has not decreased, this may be caused by incomplete expulsion of the gestational sac, leading to incomplete abortion. You should go to a regular hospital for examination immediately. If it is confirmed to be an incomplete abortion, a uterine curettage will be required.

In addition, women whose uterus is infected or whose blood coagulation function is poor after medical abortion may also experience prolonged bleeding.

Uterine infection after medical abortion

If the B-ultrasound shows that there is no residue in the uterus, then the prolonged bleeding after medical abortion may be caused by uterine infection. Because blood is one of the best substances for cultivating bacteria, and the bleeding time after medical abortion is long, if not properly cared for, uterine infection will occur, causing prolonged bleeding.

Poor blood clotting function

Women with poor blood coagulation function will experience heavy bleeding or prolonged bleeding during medical abortion or surgical abortion.

Precautions after medical abortion

1. Pay attention to hygiene

After medical abortion, women should ensure their personal hygiene, avoid bathing in a tub, excessive vaginal douching, and refrain from premature sexual intercourse. Also, please remember to change and wash your underwear frequently to keep your vulva clean and dry to avoid infection.

2. Low effectiveness

The effect of medical abortion is not particularly good, and incomplete abortion is very likely to occur. Therefore, once a woman experiences long-term and heavy bleeding after medical abortion, she must pay special attention and go to a regular hospital for examination in time to check whether it is caused by incomplete abortion so that effective treatment can be carried out.

3. Get enough rest

After a medical abortion, you must make sure to get enough rest, because only with adequate rest can you recover faster. Do not work when your body has not recovered well. Staying up late and overwork can cause great harm to your body. Female friends need attention.

4. Nutritional Intake

When having a medical abortion, you should pay attention to your nutritional intake. You can eat more protein-rich foods, such as beans, lean meat, eggs, and other high-protein foods, and avoid eating spicy foods and seafood.

What are the risks of medical abortion?

1. Prone to gynecological inflammation

After a woman takes anti-pregnancy drugs, the embryonic sac tissue in the uterine cavity can be discharged on the same day. Sometimes the pregnancy tissue is not completely discharged, the uterine membrane is not restored well, and vaginal bleeding lasts for a long time, which can last for 2-3 weeks or even 1-2 months. Long-term chronic blood loss can cause anemia and reduce the body's resistance. At this time, bacteria often travel back through the vagina and cause inflammation of the endometrium.

2. Affect future fertility

If an unmarried woman has repeated pregnancies and miscarriages, the endometrium may be repeatedly damaged. Because the endometrium is damaged, once they need to have a normal pregnancy, they are prone to placenta previa, which can cause heavy prenatal bleeding. Some women also experience habitual miscarriage due to multiple artificial abortions.

3. Excessive damage to the uterus

The main symptoms of patients are ectopic pregnancy after using the drug, and severe complications may occur such as uterine stroke, uterine adhesion or incomplete rupture. Although this situation is relatively rare in clinical practice, it does occur from time to time and we need to be vigilant. The main reason for this consequence is that the patient's ectopic pregnancy was not discovered in advance, resulting in rupture of the patient's fallopian tube after use of the drug, leading to an ectopic pregnancy. In severe cases, it can also cause other uterine complications.
