The best lying position after abortion

With the development of medicine, abortion has become more and more common, and even women themselves do not take it seriously. In fact, abortion still has some potential risks, such as thinning the uterine wall and affecting future pregnancy. Therefore, attention should be paid to care after abortion. So what is the best lying position after abortion? Because the uterus is particularly fragile after an abortion, sleeping on the right side is a more reasonable position to avoid compression of the uterus.

This sleeping position should not have much impact, it is best to sleep on the right side. As long as you don’t sleep on your stomach, other sleeping positions are relatively healthy.

1. Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition. After an abortion, you should rest in bed for 2 to 3 days, then you can get out of bed and move around, gradually increasing the time you spend active. Do not engage in heavy physical labor and avoid contact with cold water within half a month after the abortion. It takes about a month for the uterus to recover after an abortion. Therefore, we should pay attention to increasing nutrition, taking in adequate protein, enhancing the body's resistance to disease, and promoting the early repair of injured organs. After an abortion, you should eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products, and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up your body's recovery.

2. Keep the vulva clean and hygienic, and avoid sexual intercourse. The cervix has not closed after abortion, and the endometrium also has a repair process. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. Do not take a bath in a tub within half a month after the operation to prevent unclean water from entering the vagina, leading to bacterial invasion and infection. Avoid sexual intercourse within one month after abortion.

3. Observe the bleeding situation and prevent the condition from worsening. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after an abortion, and is accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

4. Pay attention to contraception to avoid pregnancy again. After abortion, the ovarian and uterine functions gradually recover, and the ovaries ovulate on schedule. If you don't stick to contraception, you will get pregnant again soon. Some women get pregnant again in the same month after having an abortion, which has a greater impact on the body. Therefore, reliable contraceptive measures should be chosen. Abortion can only be used as a remedial surgery as a last resort after contraceptive failure. Abortion should never be used as a contraceptive measure to protect the physical and mental health of women.
