What should I do if I catch a cold after having an abortion?

What should I do if I catch a cold after having an abortion? Many people will have questions about this issue. Colds are mainly caused by viral infections, and the main symptoms are dizziness, headache, cough, sputum, sore throat and fever. When you catch a cold after having an abortion, you should first pay attention to rest, avoid overwork, and drink more boiled water. Let us now take a closer look at what to do if you catch a cold after an abortion.

Women’s physical condition will be very poor after an abortion, so they must take good care of themselves after the abortion, keep warm and avoid catching a cold. At the same time, they should also pay attention to the following matters.

First of all, diet therapy is more important in post-abortion care. Female friends should increase nutrition appropriately, because the operation will cause a small amount of bleeding and cause certain damage to the body. Therefore, some foods rich in protein and vitamins should be supplemented in time, such as lean meat, fresh fish, eggs, milk or soy products.

Secondly, pay attention to proper rest and avoid eating raw or cold food. It is best to stay in bed for the first three days.

Finally, the body's resistance decreases after abortion, so more attention should be paid to personal hygiene. Because of the wounds left on the endometrium, vaginal secretions increase, making it a breeding ground for bacterial infection and reproduction. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the vulva, and shower and clean the vulva in time.

Currently, single-lumen catheters are more widely used in abortion operations. Due to the excessive positive pressure in the uterine cavity, it is difficult to avoid the backflow of blood from the uterine cavity to the abdominal cavity when using a single-lumen catheter for surgery, which can easily lead to endometriosis and infertility.

Based on the principles of fluid mechanics, medical experts designed a secondary tube inside the original single-lumen tube to connect the uterine cavity with the outside of the body during negative pressure suction. This accessory tube can reduce the pressure in the uterine cavity, thereby preventing the backflow of uterine blood, effectively avoiding endometriosis caused by surgery, and can reduce bleeding, relieve pain, and facilitate postoperative recovery.

Attention after miscarriage

1. Pay attention to rest.

2. Observe the bleeding situation. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after abortion, or is even accompanied by abnormal symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for follow-up examination and treatment in time.

3. Normal menstruation will occur in about 28 to 45 days from the day of surgery. After normal menstruation resumes, another check-up should be done to ensure that the uterus has recovered to its original state.

4. Strengthen nutrition, eat more high-protein, high-vitamin foods to nourish the body. At the same time, eat more vegetables and fruits. Do not avoid certain foods or have picky eating habits, but do not eat spicy and irritating foods within one month.

5. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the vulva clean. It is not advisable to take a bath in a tub within two weeks after surgery. It is best to take a shower. Do not use cold water within one week.

6. Do not have sex within one month after the operation; avoid pregnancy in the short term, because the uterus is damaged during the operation, and pregnancy at this time is very dangerous, so you must insist on taking safe contraceptive measures.
