Can I smoke after having an abortion?

In life, many young couples are likely to encounter unexpected pregnancies. Because they are not prepared for the arrival of a new life, many people choose to abort the child. Although abortion technology is relatively advanced now, there are still risks. You must take good care of your body after the abortion, because inadequate care can not only lead to gynecological diseases, but also cause infertility in severe cases. So can I smoke right after having an abortion?

Smoking does not have much impact on the uterus, but it has a great impact on the lungs! You need to rest for 2 weeks after a painless abortion and read less newspapers and watch less TV. Within 2 weeks after the operation, you should rest in bed and avoid heavy physical labor. Eat more nutritious food to restore your body to normal as soon as possible. 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 early repair of damaged organs.

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. Watch for bleeding. 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.
