​Preoperative examination items

Abortion is very common. This operation takes a short time and is relatively safe. However, there are many things that women need to pay attention to before having an abortion so that it will not have any impact on their bodies. What are the examination items before an abortion? There are many examination items before an abortion. Women should be patient during the examination so that their bodies will not be affected.

Check items before abortion surgery:

1. Early pregnancy test paper detection:

Starting from the 7th day of pregnancy, a specific hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG for short), can be detected in the pregnant woman's urine. The urine pregnancy test usually performed in the hospital checks it.

2. Ultrasound examination:

B-ultrasound is usually performed in early pregnancy, mainly to determine whether the intrauterine pregnancy is normal. In the 4th week of pregnancy, B-ultrasound cannot clearly show signs of pregnancy; in the 5th week, a small gestational sac can be seen, which occupies less than 1/4 of the uterine cavity, or a fetal bud can be seen; if it is the 6th week, in addition to the gestational sac, the fetal bud and fetal heart can also be seen.

The gestational sac is seen through B-ultrasound examination, and its size is determined based on the B-ultrasound. The main purpose of this examination is to detect whether it is an ectopic pregnancy. If the gestational sac cannot be seen, it may be because the time is too short. The doctor will ask the pregnant woman to wait a few days before rechecking the B-ultrasound.

3. Urine test:

This test can diagnose early pregnancy and pregnancy-related diseases with a reliability of 95%. Currently, an "early pregnancy" test can determine whether you are pregnant 5 days after the due date. About 20 days after maternal fertilization (35 days after menstruation), the urine begins to contain "human chorionic gonadotropin" produced by the placenta, which gradually increases and reaches a peak at 60 days of pregnancy.

Through biological pregnancy tests, the presence of this hormone in urine can be determined, thereby achieving the purpose of confirming the diagnosis. The urine for testing should be collected in the early morning, because the urine at this time is more concentrated, contains more hormones, and the test results are more accurate.

4. Inflammation examination: Mainly check whether there are symptoms of inflammation. If so, further examination and treatment are needed. Generally, treatment is required before surgery to prevent the inflammation from ascending and causing adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, various vaginitis, cervicitis and other gynecological inflammations.

5. Electrocardiogram and liver function tests: in case special treatment is needed during the operation.

6. Routine examination of leucorrhea: This examination is to understand whether there are Trichomonas and fungi in the vagina of pregnant women. If necessary, chlamydia, mycoplasma and gonococcus should also be checked. If the above microorganisms are present, it is easy to cause ascending infection during surgery, affecting the development of the embryo in subsequent pregnancies and inducing miscarriage.

7. Blood test: Routine blood test is mainly to see whether there are other inflammations.

Warm reminder: The dietary principles after artificial abortion should consider making reasonable arrangements for the quantity, quality and mutual matching of various foods to meet the body's needs for protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, inorganic salts, water and cellulose. Protein is an important component of antibodies. If it is insufficient, the body's resistance will be reduced. Within half a month after an artificial abortion, 1.5 to 2 grams of protein should be given per kilogram of body weight, and the daily amount is about 100 to 150 grams. Therefore, you can eat more chicken, lean pork, eggs, milk, beans, and bean products.

After understanding the examination items before abortion, when undergoing abortion, women should pay attention to keeping their emotions stable. A bad mood will have a great impact on the abortion. Moreover, after the abortion, women should choose mild food and avoid eating cold or spicy food, as this will have a great impact on their physical recovery.
