When does the flow time start to be calculated?

Surgical abortion is a very common method of abortion. If the fetus is older or medical abortion is not clean, surgical abortion is required. Since abortion can affect the uterus, women need to pay attention to maintenance after the abortion and drink more blood-enriching foods. Especially after an abortion, which is often called the short confinement period, women need to stay in bed and rest. So, when does the flow time start to be counted?

1. When does the best time for abortion start?

The best time for artificial abortion is 6 weeks of pregnancy. It is safest to do it between 6 and 8 weeks of pregnancy. Medical abortion should not exceed 49 days. Once it exceeds this time, there is a possibility that the abortion will not be complete. Artificial abortion has a great impact on the body. Since the body is relatively weak, you should keep warm, avoid cold, and eat more nutritious food. You should rest for at least two weeks and avoid fatigue within a month. The time of pregnancy is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period, and abortion can be performed within 70 days of pregnancy. During the abortion period, you should pay attention to rest, increase nutrition, avoid spicy and cold food, avoid heavy physical labor, and refrain from having sex or taking a bath within one month.

2. When does one month after abortion start to be counted?

One month after an abortion usually starts from the second day after the abortion operation.

3. Precautions after abortion

1. Rest for 2 hours after the operation; do not get up immediately after the operation; rest in bed in the hospital for 2 hours and observe the contraction of the uterus and vaginal bleeding. If there is any abnormality, please ask a doctor to check and treat it in time.

2. Keep the vulva clean. Artificial abortion is a sterile operation, but there is a possibility of bacterial infection after the operation. Therefore, after the operation, the vulva should be kept clean, bathing in a tub is prohibited within 2 weeks, and sexual intercourse is prohibited within one month to prevent ascending vaginal infection.

3. It is normal to have a small amount of vaginal bleeding 2-10 days after surgery. If you experience abdominal pain, fever, vaginal bleeding that is more than the menstrual volume, or bleeding lasts for 2 weeks after surgery, please seek medical attention in time.

4. Rest after surgery: Rest for half a month as required after surgery. During the rest period, avoid heavy physical labor, increase nutritional intake, eat more protein and vitamin-rich foods to promote physical recovery.
