What are the consequences of smoking after abortion?

Many women are addicted to smoking. However, you can't smoke at any time. For example, it is not suitable to smoke after an abortion. This will cause certain obstacles to the recovery of women's bodies and even directly affect women's reproductive function. Therefore, women must quit smoking after an abortion and take good care of their bodies. Next, I will introduce you to some relevant knowledge about abortion!

1. What are the consequences of smoking after abortion?

Smoking immediately after an abortion generally does not cause any obvious adverse reactions. However, the health effects of tar and nicotine are well known. If your health is damaged by long-term smoking, it will be detrimental to your physical health and future fertility. It can easily lead to a high incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, and may also affect reproductive function.

2. The best time for abortion

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 for 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.

3. How to take care of your body after abortion

1. Half a month is the most appropriate period for recuperation. For women who are usually weak, have poor physical condition, or have lost a lot of blood during surgery, the recuperation period should be extended appropriately.

2. After abortion, you should focus on the intake of high-quality protein. The amount of protein supplement can be calculated based on body weight, and 1.5 to 2 grams should be provided per kilogram of body weight. In terms of food ingredients, eat more chicken, lean pork, eggs, milk, beans, and bean products.

3. Supplement adequate vitamins and sufficient iron to prevent anemia. Since the body is relatively weak and prone to sweating after a painless abortion, it is necessary to replenish water in time, in small amounts and multiple times. In addition, a large amount of water-soluble vitamins are excreted in sweat, especially vitamin C, vitamin B1, and vitamin B2. Therefore, you should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

4. On the basis of a normal diet, fat should be appropriately restricted. One week after surgery, daily fat intake should be controlled at around 80 grams.

5. Avoid spicy foods such as chili peppers, wine, vinegar, pepper, ginger, cold foods such as crabs, snails, bitter melon, oranges, and foods that regulate qi and promote blood circulation such as radish and hawthorn. You can take 3-5 doses of Shenghua Tang (6 qian of Angelica sinensis, 1.5 qian of Roasted Licorice root, 4 qian of Chuanxiong, 1 qian of Peach Kernel, 1 qian of Black Ginger, and 2 qian of Eucommia ulmoides) under the guidance of a doctor.
