Do I need to stay in confinement after medical abortion?

The body is in the bleeding stage right after a medical abortion. Although it feels similar to menstruation, there will also be mild abdominal pain. You should maintain personal hygiene and rest in bed. You should also pay attention to adjusting your diet. Medical abortion can cause great damage to women's vitality, so you must combine it with diet to ensure healthy recovery of the body.

1. Maintain hygiene

After medical abortion, the vagina and uterus are in a relatively weak stage, so they are very easy to be invaded by bacteria, which can cause gynecological inflammation. Therefore, after medical abortion, you should pay attention to and think about changing underwear and sanitary napkins frequently, which is very beneficial for recovery.

2. Bed rest

Things to note after medical abortion. Medical abortion is a minor miscarriage. Some experts point out that "minor miscarriage is more serious than major miscarriage". Therefore, patients also need to "sit in confinement" after medical abortion. Stay in bed as much as possible and do not walk around casually. Ensuring adequate rest and enough sleep is very beneficial to recovery after medical abortion.

3. Diet adjustment

After a medical abortion, women's vitality is greatly damaged, so it is very important to adjust their diet. There are several specific adjustment plans:

① Yigong Drink: The required medicinal materials are 15 grams each of Codonopsis pilosula, Fructus Ligustri Lucidi, Herba Ecliptae, Rubia cordifolia, Leonurus japonicus, 12 grams each of Atractylodes macrocephala and Pollen Typhae charcoal, and 3 grams of Licorice. Soak all the herbs in cold water for 30 minutes, then boil them to extract 150-200 ml of juice and take it twice a day. It is very beneficial for patients who experience persistent vaginal bleeding after medical abortion.

② Brown sugar motherwort soup: The required medicinal materials are 30 grams of motherwort and 60 grams of brown sugar. Boil motherwort in water, remove the residue, take the juice and add appropriate amount of brown sugar while it is still hot, take it twice a day. It is very beneficial for patients who experience excessive bleeding due to blood stasis after medical abortion.

③ Ginseng and Astragalus Paste: The required medicinal materials are 60 grams of ginseng, 500 grams of roasted astragalus, and 500 grams of maltose. Decoction the first two ingredients repeatedly for two times, filter out 200 ml of juice, add appropriate amount of maltose while it is still hot, and then simmer over low heat to concentrate it into a paste. Take 20 grams at a time, drink with boiled water, three times a day. It is very beneficial for patients who suffer from qi deficiency and light, clear and thin blood after medical abortion.

I think everyone already knows what to pay attention to after having a medical abortion. There is another point that I would like to emphasize. In fact, this is common sense. It is forbidden to have sexual intercourse or get pregnant again within one month after medical abortion, otherwise it will have a great impact on the patient herself and her future fertility. I hope patients can pay attention to this aspect and take correct measures.
