Today's painless abortion surgery is more advanced and can terminate pregnancy quickly.

So, what aspects should patients pay attention to and how to solve the problem?

Vulvar itching after abortion is generally not caused by improper surgical manipulation, but by improper personal care. After an abortion, the cervix has not closed and the endometrium has not repaired. If you do not pay attention to local hygiene during this period, or have sexual intercourse, bacteria may take the opportunity to enter and cause various gynecological diseases. Generally, vulvar itching after abortion is caused by gynecological inflammation due to infection. Therefore, after an abortion, you should pay attention to local hygiene. It is best to wash the vulva with clean water every day; wear cotton underwear and wash and change it frequently; use dedicated personal hygiene appliances, and use separate washbasins and foot basins. In addition, you should pay attention to rest and avoid overwork. Sexual intercourse should be prohibited for one month after the abortion. On the one hand, it can avoid infection. On the other hand, since the uterus has not recovered yet, sexual intercourse will prevent the scab from healing.

Since there are many reasons for vulvar itching after abortion, you should first undergo a comprehensive gynecological examination and then receive symptomatic treatment based on the cause. Generally, it is mostly caused by vaginitis, which can be treated with medication. Most drug treatments are based on simple drugs, with the principle of combining oral and topical use. Generally, there are three methods: oral medication, vaginal medication, and topical ointment. Most oral medications are antibiotics, and most external medications are vaginal suppositories. Drug treatment requires a certain amount of time and course of treatment. If it cannot be persisted, it is easy to relapse and difficult to cure.

At the same time, the editor also reminds female compatriots to protect themselves during sexual life. If they do not plan to have children, they must insist on taking effective contraceptive measures, because abortion surgery is very harmful to the body and may cause infertility in severe cases.
