What are the precautions after childbirth?

After a miscarriage, in order to recover faster, women need to abide by certain principles and various precautions. They should rest more and strengthen nutritional supplements. At the same time, they should pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse.

1. After a miscarriage, you usually need to rest for half a month or a month. People call this period of time "small confinement month" . After abortion, retrograde infection is prone to occur due to new trauma to the uterus and vaginal bleeding. Therefore, bathing in a tub is prohibited and sexual intercourse is prohibited within one month before the abortion is completed. Pay attention to genital hygiene, such as washing the vulva every day, but be careful not to let dirty water flow into the vagina. During rest, you should exercise appropriately to facilitate the discharge of blood accumulated in the uterus. It is wrong not to take a bath or go out for activities. In terms of diet, you need to pay attention to nutritional balance and ensure the intake of protein, such as eggs, milk, fish, poultry, meat, etc. Eat more vegetables and fruits, but eat less raw, cold, and hard food to avoid irritating the intestines and causing indigestion.

2. After the artificial abortion, you should pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition. Do not eat raw, cold or irritating food, keep the vulva clean, and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse. Because the cervix has not completely closed after the abortion, the endometrium also needs a repair process. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. 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. Dietary adjustments should focus on the following points:

1. Within half a month after artificial abortion, 1.5 to 2 grams of protein should be supplied per kilogram of body weight. Therefore, you can eat more chicken, lean pork, eggs, milk, beans, and bean products.

2. As the body is weak and prone to sweating, it is advisable to replenish water in small amounts and multiple times. A large amount of water-soluble vitamins are excreted in sweat, especially vitamin C, vitamin B1, and vitamin B2. Therefore, you should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. This also helps prevent constipation.

3. On the basis of a normal diet, appropriately limit fat. Within one week after surgery, fat should be controlled at around 80 grams per day. People with menstrual disorders should avoid eating irritating foods, such as chili peppers, wine, vinegar, pepper, ginger, etc. These foods can stimulate congestion of the sexual organs and increase menstrual volume. Also avoid eating cold foods such as crabs, snails, and clams.
