How many days after the abortion can I wash my vagina?

Although abortion is not as troublesome as confinement after giving birth, necessary nutrients need to be supplemented and precautions must be followed. Many people will choose to take a shower to clean their lower body within a few days after having an abortion. This behavior is not advisable because the uterus needs a long time to recover after an abortion. Cleaning the lower body will give many bacteria an opportunity to take advantage and cause many gynecological diseases. The following is a specific introduction on how many days after an abortion you can wash your lower body.

It is generally recommended not to take a shower immediately after an abortion. It is best to wait 3-7 days before taking a shower. Before that, you can use a warm towel to wipe your body. After an abortion, you need to stay in confinement for a short period of time. Many of the taboos are actually similar to those during confinement. Taking a bath too early will cause cold air to enter the body and cause the cold to accumulate. When you get older, you will be more likely to have cramps in your hands and feet and be afraid of the cold than the people around you. When taking a bath, you must choose a shower. Do not take a sitting bath, tub bath, or soaking bath. When showering, try to only rinse the vulva and not the vagina. This taboo needs to be observed for one month. Because the cervix is ​​relaxed, the endometrium is shed, and the local defense ability is reduced at this time, behaviors such as sitting baths can easily cause retrograde infection, resulting in pelvic inflammation such as endometritis and adnexitis, which can cause infertility in severe cases. Things to note when taking a bath after an abortion;

1. After having an abortion, you must use warm, clean water to shower. Do not use cold or unclean water. Otherwise, not only will it fail to achieve the purpose of cleansing, it may also cause illness and cause you to regret it.

2. During the confinement period, you should try to avoid being exposed to wind as much as possible. Therefore, you should take a shower indoors after the abortion, and the indoor temperature should not be too low. Avoid taking a shower in a drafty area or outdoors.

3. When taking a bath after an abortion, you must keep warm to avoid catching a cold. After bathing, you should immediately wipe off the water on your body, put on clothes, and blow dry your hair with hot air in time.
