Do not do heavy physical work within half a month after abortion and avoid contact with cold water. It takes about a month for the uterus to return to normal shape after an abortion.

3. Maintain the cleanliness of the vulva: The cervix has not closed yet after abortion, and the uterine wall is also in a repair process. During this period, you should pay attention to maintaining the daily cleanliness of the vulva. You don’t need to take a sitz bath within half a month after the operation to prevent unclean water from entering the vagina, causing bacterial erosion and infection.

4. Pay attention to diet and improve nutrition: First of all, ensure the supply of protein food, sufficient vitamins and carbohydrates, especially sufficient iron to prevent the occurrence of anemia. When choosing food, we should focus on nutrition and be easy to digest.
