What tests should be done before curettage?

Under normal circumstances, a series of conditions of the human body need to be evaluated before the curettage, and the size of the material that actually needs to be scraped out of the uterine cavity needs to be determined to select the specific curettage method. Generally, before the curettage, a detailed screening of infectious diseases and a series of tests such as blood test, urine test, liver and kidney function test, etc. are required to determine whether the current health condition can adapt to the entire surgical process. If there is no problem, you can observe it temporarily.

Generally, after the curettage, the actual bleeding in the vagina is closely checked to see if it is good. If the vaginal bleeding stops and there are no other abnormal phenomena, it is considered that the abortion was successful or the curettage was a successful symptomatic treatment.

Four common problems after curettage:

1. Pay attention to rest and improve nutrition. After the curettage, you should rest in bed for 2 to 3 days, then you can get out of bed and move around, and gradually increase your activity level. Do not do heavy physical work within half a month after the curettage and avoid touching cold water. After curettage, the uterus needs about a month to return to normal size. Therefore, we should pay attention to increasing nutrition, taking in a certain amount of protein, enhancing the body's resistance to disease, and promoting the early repair of injured organs. After curettage, you should eat more fish, meat, eggs, beans, protein-rich foods, and fruits rich in vitamins to speed up the body's recovery.

2. Maintain a clean and hygienic environment of the vulva and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse. After curettage, the cervix has not yet closed, and the uterine wall also has a repair process. During this period, you should pay attention to maintaining daily cleanliness of the vulva. You don't need to take a sitz bath within half a month after the operation to prevent unclean water from entering the vagina, causing bacterial erosion and infection. Do not have sex within one month after curettage.

3. Observe the bleeding situation and resolutely prevent the condition from worsening. If vaginal bleeding after curettage lasts for more than one week, and is accompanied by lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid secretions with odor, etc., you should go to the hospital for follow-up treatment in time.

4. Pay attention to contraceptive measures to prevent pregnancy again. After curettage, the functions of the uterus, ovaries and uterus gradually recovered, and the uterus and ovaries ovulated on time. If you don't persist in taking good contraceptive measures, you will get pregnant again soon. Some women become pregnant again in the same month after having an abortion, which has a greater impact on the human body. Therefore, a reliable contraceptive method should be chosen. Abortion should only be a rescue surgery as a last resort after accidental pregnancy. Abortion must not be used as a countermeasure to contraceptive surgery to ensure the physical and mental health of women.
