What tests are needed after abortion surgery?

It is important to have a follow-up check after an artificial abortion. Many people think that painless abortion surgery is painless, and there is no other discomfort except for a few days of vaginal bleeding like menstruation, and there is no need for follow-up examination. In fact, this is wrong. Follow-up examination is very important for physical recovery.

The items for follow-up examination are as follows: 1. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than ten days, timely follow-up examination and B-ultrasound examination should be performed. 2. If you have severe abdominal pain and fever or vaginal bleeding that exceeds the normal menstrual period after the operation, you should go to the hospital for B-ultrasound, blood test, and gynecological examination in time. 3. If you do not have menstruation for more than one month, you should also go to the hospital for examination. The contents of postoperative follow-up include: 1. Gynecological examination to understand the condition of the cervix and vagina. 2. Check your leucorrhea to see if there is any inflammation. 3.B-ultrasound examination to find out whether there is incomplete abortion or residual fetus in the uterus.

Things to note after having an abortion

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.
