How many days can I wash my hair and take a bath during the confinement period?

You can wash your hair three days after the confinement period, but you must pay attention to the temperature and the indoor temperature. Generally, the temperature should be controlled at around 40 degrees, and the indoor temperature should be controlled at around 22-24 degrees to prevent cold. You can go out during the confinement period, but you must keep warm, especially in rainy, snowy, and windy weather. In terms of diet, you should avoid eating raw, cold, spicy and irritating foods, and eat more high-quality protein foods and fresh fruits and vegetables to help your body recover. Do not take a sitz bath within one month after the operation and keep the vulva clean to prevent infection.

The short confinement period generally refers to the confinement period after medical abortion, surgical abortion or induced labor. Generally, you can wash your hair after 3-7 days. Be sure to keep warm when washing your hair and avoid having a fever or cold. Because after medical abortion or surgical abortion, the immune system may be relatively weak, and if you have a fever or cold, the condition may be aggravated, so you must pay attention to keeping warm. Secondly, you can take a bath at this time. As long as it is more than 3-7 days, you can take a bath. You can take a shower instead of a sit bath.

Because the uterine cavity is open to the outside at this time, if you take a sitz bath or swim, some cross infection may occur. But being able to take a shower doesn't affect it. Even if you cannot take a bath, you should still remember to clean the vulva every day and keep the private parts clean to avoid the occurrence of vulvitis or even vaginitis due to failure to clean the vulva in time.

It is recommended to take a bath one week after the abortion, because the body's immunity decreases after the abortion and it is very easy to be infected by bacteria and viruses. If you take a bath too early, you may catch a cold, but you need to pay attention to local cleaning to avoid reproductive system infection. Remember to use cold water to clean from front to back to avoid bringing bacteria and viruses from the anus to the female vagina. Pay attention to changing underwear and sanitary napkins frequently, observe whether female secretions are normal, pay attention to whether there is abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, and rest more.
