What to do if the uterus is enlarged after induced abortion

It takes a long time for a mother to slowly recover her body. The uterus, as one of the important organs of women, should not be underestimated. Some women who have undergone abortions find that their uterus has become larger. So, what should I do if my uterus is enlarged after induced abortion? Let’s take a look at it below.

After induced abortion, if the uterus repairs abnormally, it is best to go to the hospital for a physical examination and take medication as soon as possible. It is recommended to choose some reliable hospital clinics.

Generally speaking, the repair of the uterus after induced abortion is divided into three steps, but because the physical condition of each pregnant woman is different, the time required for repair is also different. However, generally speaking, the uterus will gradually repair about 10 to 14 days after giving birth; the cervix will take about 7 to 10 days to repair; and it will take 6 to 8 weeks for the uterine wall to repair.

If the uterus is not repaired well, it is easy to have bad symptoms. The continuous and obvious contraction of the uterus compresses the opening of blood vessels, thereby forming some blood clots and activating blood circulation. If the uterus is further squeezed, blood clots will continue to flow out of the uterus, and the volume of the uterus may gradually decrease.

After giving birth, it will take about 4 to 6 weeks for the uterus to return to its original size. Therefore, it is not easy for the uterus to return to its original shape. Pregnant mothers should take care of their bodies after giving birth, and then start exercising as soon as possible within the body's tolerance range, such as walking, running, and doing postpartum yoga, which will help the uterus quickly return to its pre-delivery size.

The enlargement of the uterus after induced abortion may be caused by poor repair of the uterus after the induced abortion operation. You can take some medicines to contract the uterus. If the enlarged uterus still exists, you need to take certain effective measures actively.

1. Massage the uterus. If the uterus does not recover well after induced abortion, uterine massage should be performed immediately. When massaging, you can use warm hands to massage your abdomen in a clockwise direction. This can promote the excretion of postpartum lochia until all blood is no longer discharged from the uterus and the uterus can basically return to normal.

2. Chinese medicine conditioning. If the uterus does not recover well after induced abortion, Chinese medicine should be used for recuperation in time. Chinese herbal medicine helps alleviate poor uterine repair and can restore a woman's uterus to its original state.

3. Immediate uterine curettage. If the uterine abdominal muscles are not good, it may be because the residual substances such as the embryo have not been metabolized. At this time, a uterine curettage operation should be performed immediately to remove the residual substances so that the uterus can be restored to its original state.
