How long after an abortion can I go out? Women's health tips

Abortion is a relatively common phenomenon in today's life. This phenomenon has a great impact on women's health and life. If not properly cared for, it is very likely to cause gynecological diseases. So how long does it usually take before you can go out after an abortion?

Can I go out after the abortion?

It is not recommended for patients to go out immediately after having an abortion. It is recommended that female friends rest at home for a few days, and then go out if they are not feeling unwell, but be careful not to overwork. In addition to taking a rest after an abortion, you should also pay attention to some other precautions:

1. Relax: Reduce psychological pressure, prohibit sexual intercourse within 1 month, maintain a regular daily life, do not overwork, and pay more attention to rest.

2. 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. Avoid irritating foods, such as chili peppers, wine, vinegar, pepper, ginger, etc. These foods can stimulate congestion of sexual organs. Also avoid cold foods such as crabs, snails, and clams.

3. Nutritional supplement: You need to rest for 2 weeks after the operation and eat more nutritious food to restore your body to normal as soon as possible and prevent catching a cold. Avoid eating irritating foods within one month, such as chili peppers, ginger, raw garlic, strong tea and coffee, etc., also including various mutton, beef, dog meat and seafood.

4. Do not have sexual intercourse within one month after the operation. If you have sexual intercourse after one month, you must pay attention to contraception to avoid pregnancy again.

5. During the period of artificial abortion, the trauma on the endometrium has not yet recovered, the cervical opening is relaxed, the original mucus plug in the cervix (which prevents bacteria from entering the cervix) has been removed, and the new mucus plug has not yet formed. If you do not pay attention to hygiene at this time, bacteria in the vagina can easily enter the uterine cavity and cause infection. Therefore, after an artificial abortion, more attention should be paid to the hygiene of the vulva. Wash it with warm water 1-2 times a day, change sanitary napkins frequently, and sitz baths are prohibited within 2 weeks or if there is unclean vaginal bleeding. Sexual intercourse is prohibited within one month to prevent reproductive organ infection.

How long after the abortion can I go out?

With the development of medicine, abortion surgery now causes much less harm to women than before. Therefore, how long you can wait after an abortion depends on the patient's physical condition. Generally speaking, if there is no physical discomfort, you can go out immediately. However, doctors recommend that it is best to rest in bed at home for a few days after the abortion to avoid excessive fatigue and poor recovery of the body. Generally, you can go out after resting for 3 to 5 days, but try to avoid overwork and excessive exercise.

Although abortion is a minor operation with a short operation time, little bleeding and a high safety factor, it will always cause some harm to women. Therefore, necessary care must be taken after abortion to ensure your health.
