Therefore, it is best to choose a good hospital for painless abortion.

Precautions and diet after artificial abortion:

1. You should pay attention to rest after an artificial abortion. You cannot go to work immediately. You should rest in bed for 2 or 3 days to let your body recover first, and then slowly get out of bed and move around. It is not suitable to do a lot of physical activities after miscarriage. Pay attention to proper rest and do not do things that require too much concentration, such as reading and watching TV, which will easily cause mental fatigue. You can watch them appropriately, but not for a long time.

2. Pay attention to hygiene and cleanliness after abortion, especially the cleanliness of the vulva. The cervix has not completely closed after abortion, and the endometrium also has a repair process. Therefore, there will be bleeding at the beginning. During this period, you must change sanitary napkins frequently. The sanitary napkins used should be comfortable and soft, and underwear should be changed and washed frequently to avoid bacterial growth, because the unsanitary environment outside can cause some inflammation. The vulva should be cleaned with warm water every day. It is better to take a shower than a bath to avoid vaginal infection.

3. Sexual intercourse should be prohibited for one month after abortion. Genital infection is prone to occur when the body has not yet recovered from the abortion. If there are bacteria hidden in the male's genitals or in the female's vulva and vagina, they will take advantage of the opportunity to infect the cervix, which can easily cause some gynecological inflammation.

4. Pay attention to bleeding. There will be red or light red secretions in the vagina within one month after an artificial abortion. The amount of bleeding will gradually decrease. Under normal circumstances, there is no obvious odor. Those who have had an abortion should pay attention to the bleeding. If the bleeding time exceeds 15 days and the amount of bleeding is greater than the normal menstrual volume, especially if it is accompanied by a bad odor, and the person having an abortion has symptoms such as fever and abdominal pain, you should go to the hospital for a thorough examination as soon as possible to rule out whether the abortion is incomplete and receive timely treatment to avoid causing more serious situations.
