Half a month of abortion, tired and bleeding

Abortion is a surgical procedure performed to terminate a pregnancy. Because the woman's uterus will be affected to a certain extent and her vitality will be damaged during the abortion operation, she needs to stay in bed and rest for a period of time after the operation. She should not overwork, as this will cause some adverse conditions in women, such as bleeding. So, in addition to not overworking, what else do women need to pay attention to after an abortion?

When pregnant women have an abortion, the high mental tension and severe pain caused by the suction of the uterine cavity by the catheter increase the excitability of the sympathetic nerves, increase the secretion of adrenaline, increase the body's metabolic rate, and increase energy consumption. At the same time, during abortion, the mother's endometrium is inevitably damaged. If you do not pay attention to strengthening self-care after the operation, it may lead to prolonged vaginal bleeding, back pain, abdominal pain, menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, etc. Therefore, effective self-care after abortion is crucial to promoting the smooth recovery of the body and reproductive organs.

1. Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition

After an abortion, you should rest in bed for 2 to 3 days, then you can get out of bed and move around, gradually increasing the time you spend active. Do not engage in heavy physical labor and avoid contact with cold water within half a month after the abortion. It takes about a month for the uterus to recover after an abortion. Therefore, we should pay attention to increasing nutrition, taking in adequate protein, enhancing the body's resistance to disease, and promoting the early repair of injured organs. After an abortion, you should eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products, and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up your body's recovery.

2. Keep the vulva clean and hygienic, and avoid sexual intercourse

The cervix has not closed after abortion, and the endometrium also has a repair process. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. Do not take a bath in a tub within half a month after the operation to prevent unclean water from entering the vagina, leading to bacterial invasion and infection. Avoid sexual intercourse within one month after abortion.

3. Observe the bleeding situation and prevent the condition from getting worse

If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after an abortion, and is accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

4. Pay attention to contraception to avoid pregnancy again

After abortion, the ovarian and uterine functions gradually recover, and the ovaries ovulate on schedule. If you don't stick to contraception, you will get pregnant again soon. Some women get pregnant again in the same month after having an abortion, which has a greater impact on the body. Therefore, reliable contraceptive measures should be chosen. Abortion can only be used as a remedial surgery as a last resort after contraceptive failure. Abortion should never be used as a contraceptive measure to protect the physical and mental health of women.
