Can I take weight loss pills after having an abortion?

Cesarean section and medical abortion are the two most common abortion methods on the market. When a girl accidentally becomes pregnant and considers abortion, she often chooses these two methods. However, women who have undergone abortion have relatively poor body resistance and need careful care. They need to supplement the nutrients needed by the body through some food to restore the body to its best condition. Therefore, many medicines should be avoided during this period. So can women who have had an abortion take weight loss pills?

Women who have an unexpected pregnancy usually choose to terminate the pregnancy through abortion. For female friends, this avoids the side effects of medical abortion, but it will still cause certain harm to the female friend's body. The body is already very weak after an abortion, and the body will not be able to withstand taking diet pills. Therefore, women should not take diet pills after an abortion.

What are the consequences of taking weight loss pills after abortion?

1. Taking diet pills after an abortion may cause heavy bleeding, infertility, endocrine disorders and other diseases.

We know that abortion is very harmful to the body, and the body needs a recovery process. The quality of the body's recovery may be related to your health for life. If you start taking diet pills right after an abortion, it will cause great harm to your body. The harm of taking diet pills after abortion

Hazard 1: Suffering from anorexia nervosa

Excessive dieting can easily lead to anorexia nervosa, which is more common among young girls.

The usual diagnostic criteria are:

(1) The weight is 15% or more lower than the standard weight for people of the same age and height, and 25% lower than the original weight;

(2) Pursuing slimness, intentionally controlling diet, and preferring to starve;

(3) Women have amenorrhea for more than 3 months;

(4) Slow heartbeat, vomiting, etc.;

(5) No other physical illness or diseases such as schizophrenia; (6) The age of onset is 10 to 30 years old. Movie stars, ballet dancers, and fashion models all pursue slimness. In these occupations, the proportion of people suffering from anorexia nervosa is 3-4 times that of the general population (of the same age).

Harm 2: Frequent constipation, having to rely on laxatives

During weight loss, they usually eat even less than cats. Also, because I ate less, I became constipated. I only had a bowel movement once every two or three days, and each bowel movement was very difficult. So I had to rely on laxatives to solve the problem of defecation. This laxative will cause diarrhea once taken, but constipation will occur again if not taken, leading to a vicious cycle and intestinal dysfunction.

Constipation caused by food that is too refined, too fine, or too little, which reduces intestinal stimulation and weakens reflex peristalsis, can be corrected by eating more coarse grains, vegetables, and fruits, but it cannot be simply corrected by using laxatives. Only in a few cases where the cause of constipation cannot be found or symptomatic treatment is needed, do laxatives need to be used for a short period of time as appropriate. You should know that continuous use of laxatives can lead to drug dependence. Long-term use can damage the nerve plexus cells in the intestinal wall, causing them to degenerate, resulting in local colon relaxation and aggravating constipation.

Harm 3: Reduced menstruation or amenorrhea, premature ovarian failure

Long-term use of weight loss products will lead to less and less menstrual flow, and eventually even amenorrhea. Nowadays, in obstetrics and gynecology clinics, we often encounter girls who suffer from amenorrhea due to weight loss. Excessive weight loss and dieting can lead to a sharp decrease in body fat. When the fat ratio is too low, it will lead to insufficient estrogen synthesis. The decrease in estrogen will cause menstrual disorders and inhibit the ovulation function of the ovaries, which can easily cause premature ovarian failure and failure of the eggs to mature, eventually leading to amenorrhea and retraction of secondary sexual characteristics (smaller breasts and thinner hair). In addition, improper use of weight-loss pills can also cause more serious menstrual disorders.
