What should you pay attention to after induced abortion for fetal heart malformation?

Everyone hopes to give birth to a healthy baby, but environmental influences or certain diseases may often cause fetal malformations, such as heart malformations. However, heart malformations can usually only be detected in the second trimester of pregnancy. If the pregnancy needs to be terminated at this time, induced abortion is the only option. So, what should you pay attention to after induced abortion?

1. Because induced abortion surgery causes a lot of bleeding, you should pay attention to increasing nutrition after the surgery. Avoid eating raw, cold, spicy and irritating foods. Eat more foods that replenish qi and blood and clear blood stasis. For example: red dates, lotus root, eggs, milk, chicken, fish, animal liver, soy products, millet porridge, brown sugar water, fresh vegetables and fruits, etc., foods rich in protein and vitamins, nutritious and digestive.

2. You need to stay in the hospital for 3-5 days after the induced abortion surgery. Pay attention to the contraction of the uterus and prevent heavy bleeding. Because induced abortion surgery is very traumatic to the body, you need to rest for at least two weeks after the surgery. It is not advisable to sit or stand for a long time, let alone do high-intensity work. Try to rest in bed as much as possible.

3. After the operation, you need to wear loose clothes on your lower body, keep your lower body clean within one month, and rinse the vulva with clean water in the morning and evening. If lochia is discharged, you can use toilet paper specially for women and babies to pad your underwear. Try not to use sanitary pads as toilet paper is more breathable than sanitary pads. Change and wash your underwear frequently, scald the underwear you take off with hot water, and expose it to the sun to disinfect it. You can take a hot shower 3 days after the operation, but you cannot take a sitz bath. However, you should close the doors and windows and keep the room temperature low.

4. Do not have sex before the next menstruation after the operation. The couple should do a good job of cleaning beforehand and take contraceptive measures afterwards. If pregnancy is required, it will take more than half a year. Otherwise it will cause great harm to the body. Women must take care of their bodies.

Because the induced abortion is performed when the fetus is relatively old, such induced abortion is equivalent to confinement after childbirth. Therefore, everything after induced abortion should be treated like confinement after childbirth. Pay attention to the nutrition of your diet, eat more foods that replenish blood and qi, and get more rest to avoid overwork, so as to avoid causing any problems to your body.
