When is the good flow?

Many people always encounter very frustrating things in life. Sexual life is a normal life experience for adults, but many people become pregnant due to contraceptive failure or accidental pregnancy. With the continuous advancement of medical technology, there are more and more ways to help solve unexpected pregnancies. It is often seen in surgical or medical abortion. Many ignorant women want to ask, when is the best time to have an abortion?

When is the flow good?

Early abortion is a common remedy for contraceptive failure. When the embryo is still relatively small, the uterus is not large, and the placenta has not yet formed, the pregnancy can be terminated using curettage or vacuum aspiration. So, when is the best time to have an abortion?

The best time for abortion is generally before 9 weeks of pregnancy. However, to finally determine how long you can have an abortion, you also need to refer to some preoperative examination results. However, if the embryo is too large, or even has grown bones, it cannot be sucked out with the largest straw. In this case, you can only be hospitalized and induce labor with drugs or water bags, and then have the uterus cleaned after the embryo and most of the placenta are expelled.

If induction of labor fails, curettage is needed, which is to use an instrument to directly scrape the embryo and placenta out of the uterus. This operation is risky and can easily cause cervical injury and increased bleeding during the operation. It also increases the risk of infection, uterine injury, and postoperative intrauterine adhesions. Therefore, if you plan to terminate an unexpected pregnancy, try to do it within 2 months of pregnancy.

If you choose to have a medical abortion, the best time is generally within 49 days of pregnancy. If it exceeds this time, it is best to choose other abortion methods.

In fact, even if you have an abortion at the best time for medical abortion, there is no guarantee of a 100% success rate. Generally, the success rate of medical abortion is only 75%. If a woman secretly performs a medical abortion at home without the guidance of a doctor, the 75% success rate will be greatly reduced.

Medical abortion is a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol. However, since it is not easy for the decidua to be discharged at the same time after abortion, it is easy to cause incomplete medical abortion, and surgical curettage is still required in the end. Moreover, medical abortion can cause prolonged vaginal bleeding and easily lead to infection. It is more likely to cause endometritis and salpingitis and lead to secondary infertility than painless abortion. It should be noted that medical abortion requires professional medical personnel to help observe the fetus and bleeding during the abortion process. Oral medications may cause discomfort, etc., so they can be dealt with in a timely manner. Therefore, you cannot perform a medical abortion at home.

What are the precautions after abortion?

If you don't take good care of yourself after an abortion, it can easily lead to various gynecological diseases. What are the precautions after an abortion? You should rest in bed for 2-3 days after the abortion. Do not engage in heavy physical labor or work in cold water within half a month to avoid catching cold. You should also eat more protein and foods rich in vitamins.

1. Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition. After the abortion, you should rest in bed for 2-3 days, then you can get out of bed and move around, gradually increasing the activity time. Do not engage in heavy physical labor or work in cold water within half a month after the abortion to avoid catching cold. Pay attention to increasing nutrition, eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, bean products and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to promote the repair of the endometrium.

2. Keep the vulva clean and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse. After an abortion, the cervix has not completely closed and the endometrium also has a repair process. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. The sanitary napkins and underwear used should be washed and changed frequently. Do not take a sitz bath within half a month after the operation to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If you have sex too early after an abortion, it can easily cause acute endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and may also lead to secondary infertility. Therefore, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month after the abortion.

3. Observe the bleeding situation. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after an abortion, or is even accompanied by lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, and other abnormal symptoms, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up visit in time.

4. Adhere to contraception. After abortion, the ovarian and uterine functions gradually recover, and the ovaries ovulate on schedule. If you do not persist in contraception, you will get pregnant again soon. Therefore, after an abortion, you should choose reliable contraceptive measures as soon as possible, and you must insist on contraception as the main method. You cannot use abortion as a contraceptive measure.
