Can I wash my vagina after having a medical abortion?

After medical abortion, the blood stasis in the body will be slowly discharged from the lower body. At this time, you should not only pay attention to vaginal hygiene, but also replenish the nutrients needed by the body in time. Generally, it only takes a dozen days for the body to recover. After the body recovers, go to the hospital for a follow-up examination. After confirming that everything is fine, you can engage in other activities. Otherwise, if you don't pay attention during this period, it may cause trouble to your future life.

Vaginal douching refers to the use of a douching device that can dilate the vagina, and then pouring prepared medicine into the vagina to directly clean the vagina, thereby achieving the goal of eliminating bacteria and viruses. It is a common gynecological treatment method. The most common use is in the treatment of vaginitis. It is strictly forbidden to flush during menstruation. You must wait until the menstruation is over. In addition, since there will be a certain water flow pressure when flushing with medicinal liquid, if you have just had a medical abortion or artificial induction, it is easy to cause uterine cavity infection due to flushing, so it is also prohibited in this case.

1. Generally speaking, medical abortion does not require any uterine curettage surgery, and if there is no vaginal bleeding and the recovery is good, you can flush it in about 2 weeks. Use warm water for flushing. If you have a medical abortion and a uterine curettage, it is best to wait one month before the flushing. You should also pay attention to rest, avoid doing heavy physical labor, and eat more nutritious and easily digestible foods.

2. After the medical abortion, regardless of whether you have had a uterine curettage or not, if you feel that you have no other problems or feel uncomfortable, it is best not to do vaginal douching, because the human body's self-cleaning function is very good. Frequent douching will disrupt the acid-base balance of the vaginal environment, making it more susceptible to infection and detrimental to health.

3. The main purpose of vaginal douching is to disinfect the vagina, so unless you have vaginal inflammation, you should not do it at will, especially if you have experienced medical abortion recently. You must also pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva at ordinary times. Rinse it with warm water every time. After washing, you should change into clean underwear. It is best to boil the underwear with boiling water and then put it in the sun for disinfection.

Note:

No matter what the situation is, women's perineum should be cleaned frequently, and it is best to wash it after defecation. For those who have had a medical abortion recently, in addition to paying attention to vaginal hygiene, they should also pay attention to a light diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, and try not to eat fried, spicy or stimulating foods to help recover faster.
