I feel bloated in the stomach after the abortion.

When it comes to abortion, female friends are the most familiar with it. In life, we often see many people choose to have an abortion because of unexpected pregnancy. Moreover, due to the continuous opening of today's society, the abortion group is getting younger and younger. However, the current painless abortion surgery does alleviate a lot of people's pain. It is said that abortion is the most harmful to the body. No one can say whether it will leave a root of disease. Many female friends feel bloated after abortion. Let's take a look at what causes it:

Generally, there is a 7-14 day bleeding period after an abortion, but it may be earlier or later. If the bleeding time is longer or the amount of bleeding is heavier, and there are symptoms such as abdominal pain and distension, it is highly considered that the abortion may be incomplete. You need to go to the hospital in time for a clear diagnosis and take appropriate treatment measures.

What should you pay attention to after abortion?

You should pay attention to proper rest after the operation, and it is best to rest in bed for the first 3 days. Because after an artificial abortion, a wound is left on the endometrium. If you move too early, it may prolong the vaginal bleeding time. Generally, you should avoid physical labor and physical exercise within half a month.

It is necessary to increase nutrition appropriately, because the operation will cause a small amount of bleeding and cause certain damage to the body, so, you should promptly supplement some foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as lean meat, fresh fish, eggs, milk or soy products.

After miscarriage, the body's resistance decreases, 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, shower and clean the vulva in time, disinfect the toilet paper and change it frequently; avoid taking a bath in a tub within half a month, and change underwear frequently; and sexual intercourse is absolutely prohibited within one month to prevent bacterial infection. In addition, contraception should be further strengthened. Under the guidance of a doctor, use appropriate contraceptive methods or sterilization measures to prevent pregnancy again. You should also pay attention to vaginal discharge after the operation. Generally, there will be red or light red discharge within a week, and the amount will gradually decrease without any obvious odor. If there is still bleeding or excessive secretions after a week, especially if the secretions have a foul odor and are accompanied by symptoms such as fever and abdominal pain, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

Self-care after abortion

Abortion is something that women do not want to face, but it is often a reality that they have to face. Almost every woman will experience at least one abortion during her childbearing age. Since you have to do it, you should protect yourself better because it is harmful to your body after all.

1. Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition. After the abortion, you should rest in bed for 2 to 3 days, then you can get out of bed and move around, gradually increasing the activity time. Do not engage in heavy physical labor or work in cold water within half a month after the abortion to avoid catching cold. Pay attention to increasing nutrition, enhancing the body's resistance to disease, and promoting early repair of damaged organs. After an abortion, you should eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up your body's recovery.

2. Keep the vulva clean and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse. After abortion, the cervix has not completely closed and the endometrium also has a repair process. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. The sanitary napkins and underwear used should be washed and changed frequently. Do not take a sitz bath within half a month after the operation to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If you have sexual intercourse too early after an abortion, it can easily cause acute endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and may also lead to secondary infertility. Therefore, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month after the abortion.

3. Watch for bleeding. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after an abortion, or is even accompanied by other abnormal symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and foul-smelling leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for timely examination and treatment.

4. Adhere to good contraception. After the abortion, the ovarian and uterine functions gradually recovered and the ovaries produced eggs on schedule. If you don't stick to contraception. You will get pregnant again soon. Therefore, after an abortion, you should choose reliable contraceptive measures as soon as possible. Abortion can only be used as a remedial surgery as a last resort after contraceptive failure. Contraception must be the main method and abortion cannot be used as a contraceptive measure.
