What to check after abortion

Many women think that abortion is not a major operation, so they do not take it seriously and do not go for follow-up examinations as required by the doctor after the operation, which brings certain risks. So what should be checked after an abortion? It is understood that women who have undergone abortion must go to the hospital for another check-up after recovering for a period of time to see whether the abortion was clean, whether they were infected with gynecological diseases, etc.

The main thing is to see whether there is infection or residue in the uterus, so as to determine whether treatment is needed. After all, abortion has certain risks. If it is not properly taken care of, it will affect normal pregnancy in the future. You must pay attention to this matter and cannot ignore this short period of confinement. During this period, you must keep warm and not have sexual intercourse to avoid leaving any problems.

Although the current painless abortion technology causes very little harm to women, gynecological experts from the Yunnan Provincial Armed Police Corps Hospital remind female friends that for their own health and safety, they must go to the hospital for a follow-up examination about one week after the bleeding stops. In fact, the follow-up examination after painless abortion mainly focuses on whether the abortion is incomplete, whether there is postoperative infection, and the recovery of the endometrium. If there are any abnormalities, timely treatment should be sought, because if there is infection or poor recovery after abortion, leaving sequelae, it may affect future fertility.

So what should be checked after painless abortion?

1. Leucorrhea examination: to see if there is acute inflammatory infection

2. Routine gynecological examination: check the condition of the cervix and vagina.

3. B-ultrasound examination: check the recovery of the endometrium and whether there is incomplete abortion, etc. Gynecological experts from the Yunnan Provincial Armed Police Corps Hospital kindly remind you: The first menstruation after abortion will basically come one month later. For postoperative examination, if there is no acute discomfort, it is generally better to check 2 weeks after the abortion or 3-6 days after the menstruation is over one month.
