Will abortion leave scars?

With the development of society, there are more and more types of abortion surgeries. However, no matter which method is chosen, it is very harmful to women's health and they need to take good care of themselves. Some women are worried that after the abortion, the wound will leave scars and they are afraid that it will affect their future. In fact, under normal circumstances, abortion can only cause great harm to women's uterus, but will not cause other effects.

Will abortion leave scars?

Abortion generally does not leave scars, whether it is medical abortion or surgical abortion, there will be no wounds, so no scars will be left. After an abortion, paying attention to postoperative care is the top priority, because abortion will increase the chance of uterine infection and cause damage to the female reproductive system. Therefore, postoperative care is particularly important. The key to postoperative care is to control infection, pay attention to hygiene, strengthen nutrition, pay attention to rest, and relax, so as to facilitate physical recovery.

Things to note after abortion

1. Within 2 weeks after the operation, rest in bed appropriately and avoid heavy physical labor.

2. Do not take a sitz bath within 2 weeks after an abortion or before vaginal bleeding has stopped.

3. Keep the vulva clean and hygienic, wash it with warm water 1 to 2 times a day, and change sanitary napkins frequently.

4. As long as you resume your sexual life after a painless abortion, you must take contraceptive measures to avoid getting pregnant again.

5. You need to rest after the painless abortion and prevent catching a cold. Eat more nutritious food to restore your body to normal as soon as possible.

6. Avoid sexual intercourse within 1 month to prevent genital organ infection. If you have fever, abdominal pain, or vaginal discharge with an unusual odor, seek medical attention immediately.

7. After painless abortion, the ovaries will resume ovulation in about 1 month, followed by menstruation. Therefore, as soon as you resume your sexual life after a painless abortion, you must take contraceptive measures to avoid getting pregnant again. This is a point that should be paid special attention to when doing painless abortion.

8. After painless abortion surgery, the body is weak and prone to sweating. Therefore, water evaporation should be reduced. A lot 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. This also helps prevent constipation.

9. For a period of time after painless abortion, the trauma on the endometrium has not yet recovered, the cervical opening is relaxed, the original mucus plug in the cervix (which has the function of preventing bacteria from entering the uterine cavity) has been removed, and the new mucus plug has not yet formed. If you do not pay attention to the hygiene of the vulva at this time, bacteria in the vagina can easily enter the uterine cavity and cause infection.

10. During painless abortion, after the placenta is separated, there may be a small amount of bleeding on the wound left on the uterine wall. In this case, as the uterus contracts and the wound repairs, vaginal bleeding will gradually stop in 3 to 5 days and will not exceed 10 to 15 days at most. If the amount of vaginal bleeding exceeds the amount of menstrual blood and lasts too long, you need to seek medical treatment promptly.

11. You must maintain a good mood after the abortion. Do not put too much pressure on yourself after the operation. This will pose some threats to your health and may affect future pregnancy. Therefore, you must be able to keep yourself in a good mood. Another point is not to stay up late, as these have a very big impact.
