What should you pay attention to during your first abortion?

Gynecologists remind you that your first abortion may affect your future fertility! So what should you pay attention to before and after your first abortion? Here are the specific answers for you!

After 5 years of dating, Xiaoyun and her husband got married in October of last year. Xiaoyun started dating her current husband when she was 21 years old. After they confirmed their relationship, she had an unexpected pregnancy, which was also Xiaoyun’s first pregnancy. Due to psychological stress at the time, I did not tell my family and secretly had an abortion in a small clinic.

The couple had been married for a year and had not taken any contraceptive measures but had never gotten pregnant. After examination by experts, it was confirmed that she suffered from endometritis, a complication of abortion, which made it impossible for her to conceive normally.

Therefore, experts remind: Be cautious when having an artificial abortion for the first time

With the openness of people's life concepts and the lack of contraceptive knowledge, the phenomenon of unexpected pregnancy is on the rise. According to the latest data released by the Ministry of Health of China, 7 to 8 million women undergo abortions in China every year.

Artificial abortion is a last resort remedy for women's contraceptive failure, but it is by no means the first choice. Because both artificial abortion and medical abortion may cause various harms to the human body. Some couples think that being pregnant is not a big deal and if they don’t want the baby they can just have an abortion and having several abortions will not affect their health. Some people mistakenly believe that the first child will be unintelligent and unhealthy and must be aborted. These and similar ideas are all wrong.

Reminder: Especially for the first abortion, you should be more cautious. Habitual miscarriage and premature birth often occur after the operation, and severe cases can lead to infertility. There are many methods of contraception now. In case of contraception failure, you should choose a professional obstetrics and gynecology hospital as soon as possible. The following signs can be used as reference for determining unwanted pregnancy: when the menstrual period is regular, suddenly the menstruation stops for more than 10 days; chest tightness, breast enlargement, and pain for more than 7 to 10 days; loss of appetite and nausea in mild cases, and vomiting in severe cases; fatigue, chills, and cold-like symptoms; frequent urination similar to symptoms of urinary tract infection; slight swelling and discomfort in the lower abdomen; two red lines when testing urine with a self-test stick.
