Can abortion and sterilization be done together?

There are many women who get pregnant accidentally. If they don’t want the child, they have to have an abortion to get rid of the baby. This causes great harm to the human body. If they don’t want the child, especially for women who have just given birth, they can get sterilized through ligation. Some women want to have a ligation operation after having an abortion. Can abortion and ligation be done at the same time? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. Can abortion and sterilization be done at the same time?

Abortion and sterilization cannot be performed at the same time. Abortion is performed vaginally, while sterilization is performed through laparoscopy or laparotomy. The surgical approaches are different, so they cannot be performed together.

2. The best time for female sterilization

1. Non-pregnancy period. The time for female sterilization surgery should be chosen within 3-7 days after the menstruation is completely over.

2. Vacuum ligation during postpartum period. The ligation operation can be performed within 6 hours after delivery. If the mother does not give birth naturally in the hospital but is transferred to the hospital from another place, she can be hospitalized for observation for 1-2 days. If the situation is normal, surgery can be performed. For those with difficult labor, they need to be hospitalized for observation for 4-5 days, and surgery will be performed only if there are no special circumstances.

3. Sterilization after breastfeeding. If menstruation has not resumed during breastfeeding, you can choose any day to have a vasectomy, but pregnancy must be ruled out; if menstruation has resumed, you can have a vasectomy within 3-7 days after the resumption of menstruation.

4. Ligation after cesarean section. If the mother who is having a caesarean section requests it, the sterilization surgery can be performed at the same time as the caesarean section.

3. The best time for ligation surgery

Tubal ligation only cuts off the channel for the egg and sperm to meet. It is a minor operation and may cause slight pain, wound infection and other problems, but it will not damage or affect the body's physiological functions, health and sex life, nor will it hurt any "vitality".

As long as the wound heals after the operation, the couple can resume their sexual life, and this operation has absolutely no impact on the couple's sexual life. On the contrary, since couples no longer have to worry about pregnancy, their sex life can be more harmonious and fulfilling.

Although this operation is not a major surgery and can be performed in an outpatient clinic, it is highly technical and can be effective immediately if applied properly and performed skillfully. Otherwise, it will affect the health of the operator and hinder the implementation of family planning work. So when is the best time to have a vasectomy? Let’s take a look.

1. During the non-pregnancy period, the procedure should be performed within 3-7 days after the menstruation is completely over.

2. Surgery can be performed immediately after early or late artificial abortion, but it is not easy to perform surgery within 1 month after spontaneous abortion or missed abortion. For women with IUDs, the IUD should be removed first and then sterilization should be performed.

3. For those who give birth naturally in the hospital during the postpartum period, the general condition is good and the surgery can be performed 6 hours after delivery. For those who give birth naturally outside the hospital, they need to be hospitalized for 1-2 days for observation and the condition is normal before the surgery can be performed. For those with difficult labor, they need to be hospitalized for observation for 4-5 days, and surgery will be performed only if there are no special circumstances.

4. During breastfeeding, the operation can be performed within 3-7 days after the menstruation resumes. Those whose menstruation has not resumed can choose any day for surgery, but pregnancy must be ruled out.

5. Patients who undergo cesarean section or other gynecological surgery can undergo tubal ligation at the same time.
