Can I take a hot spring bath after a miscarriage?

Artificial abortion is a very good method to deal with unexpected pregnancy. It can timely avoid congenital malformations or certain genetic diseases. Common procedures for induced abortion are vacuum aspiration and medical abortion. Generally speaking, you can be discharged from the hospital on your own about 1 to 2 hours after an artificial abortion if there is no abdominal pain or bleeding. After discharge, you must strengthen your nutrition, pay attention to physical rest, keep your vulva clean, and avoid taking a bath or soaking in a hot spring.

Women are not allowed to take a hot spring bath within one month after an abortion, because at this time the cervix relaxes, the endometrium falls off, and the local immune system decreases. Hot springs are equivalent to a tub bath, which can easily cause infection. If a woman takes a hot spring bath less than one month after an abortion, it is easy to cause gynecological diseases such as endometritis, adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. Therefore, female friends must not joke about their own health. They must know how to take care of their bodies, otherwise it will be too late to regret it when they are plagued by diseases.

There are many things that women need to pay attention to after an abortion, and they should also be very careful about the use of medication. After abortion, the pregnant woman's body is in a physiological state of insufficient yin and blood and hyperactivity of yang, so it is appropriate to use cool medicines. During pregnancy, all drugs that are strong, laxative, blood-removing, blood-breaking, qi-consuming and qi-dispersing, and all toxic drugs should be used with caution or prohibited.

Generally speaking, medicines that should be used with caution are those that have the effects of removing blood stasis and promoting menstruation, promoting the flow of qi and breaking up stagnation, and those that are pungent, hot, and lubricating, such as peach kernel, safflower, rhubarb, immature bitter orange, aconite, cinnamon bark, pinellia, and matrimony vine. The drugs that raise red flags for women who are planning abortions are those with strong toxicity and potent medicinal properties, such as croton, morning glory, euphorbia, blister beetle, pokeweed, musk, triangular lanceolate, zedoaria, leeches, and caterpillars.

Generally, you cannot take a bath within one month after an abortion, and of course, taking a hot spring bath is absolutely prohibited. You cannot have sexual intercourse within one month because the endometrium is slowly repairing within one month after the abortion. If you take a bath or soak in a hot spring at this time, it is easy to cause various infections. After the operation, you should also pay attention to whether there is any bleeding, especially about a week after the operation. If the bleeding has not stopped, you should go to the hospital to see a doctor for examination.
