How long should I rest after having an abortion?

For many women who are not married but are already pregnant, the best way is to have an abortion. Although we do not advocate this practice, sometimes if conditions really do not allow it, abortion may be the best option. However, after the abortion, female friends must pay attention to taking care of their bodies and rest more, otherwise it is likely to affect future fertility. So how long should you rest after an abortion?

Generally, you need to rest for half a month or a month after an artificial abortion. This period of time is commonly known as "small confinement month". However, since many female friends still have to work, it is impossible for them to rest for such a long time. However, even if they cannot rest for such a long time, they should at least rest for three days. At the same time, do not engage in heavy physical labor within half a month after an artificial abortion and avoid contact with cold water.

After an artificial abortion, you should not only pay attention to rest, but also pay attention to the following situations:

It takes about a month for the uterus to recover after a miscarriage. Therefore, we should pay attention to increasing nutrition, taking in adequate protein, enhancing the body's resistance to disease, and promoting the early repair of injured organs. After an abortion, you should eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up your body's recovery.

Pay attention to the bleeding situation to prevent the condition from getting worse. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after an abortion, and is accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

Keep the vulva clean and hygienic, and avoid having sex. The cervix has not closed after abortion, and the endometrium also has a repair process. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. Do not take a bath in a tub within half a month after the operation to prevent unclean water from entering the vagina, causing bacterial invasion and infection. Avoid having sex within one month after abortion.

To sum up, I believe you have understood how long you should rest after an abortion. It is recommended that all female friends must take contraceptive measures if they do not plan to get married and have children. After all, abortion surgery not only has an impact on your body, but the most important thing is that too many abortions will cause the endometrium to become thinner. If this is the case, it will be more difficult to get pregnant after marriage.
