Will straining during abortion due to constipation be harmful to the body?

Some women suffer from constipation after having an abortion due to improper diet, drinking too little water, or stress and getting angry. Some will experience short-term constipation, while others will experience long-term constipation. Many people who experience constipation after an abortion do not know whether they can strain to defecate. If constipation occurs, timely symptomatic treatment is required. In terms of diet, you should eat more detoxifying foods, eat more fruits and vegetables, and drink more water. Next, let’s take a look at whether it is possible to push during abortion if constipation occurs.

1. Can I push if I am constipated after an abortion?

You can strain to defecate after an abortion, but frequent straining may increase abdominal pressure, which will cause increased vaginal bleeding. Although constipation will not have a direct impact on the recovery of the uterus, it will also have some effects that are not conducive to the recovery of the body. Therefore, patients must actively correct the symptoms of constipation and try to eat more foods that have a laxative effect, especially fresh vegetables and fruits, such as: celery, spinach, bananas, apples, yogurt, etc. Generally, eating more of these foods every day can have a good laxative effect and will not let patients suffer more pain.

2. Pay attention to nutrition

In order to ensure that the body can recover faster after abortion, the intake of other nutritious foods should also be increased, such as: eggs, lean meat, rice porridge, vegetable porridge, coarse grains, beans, milk, etc. A balanced and diversified diet is helpful for physical recovery. During this period, you should develop the habit of eating small meals and never overeat, otherwise it will easily cause indigestion and have an adverse effect on physical recovery. During this period, you should also avoid eating highly irritating foods, especially raw, cold and spicy foods, try to eat less or no food. Go to the hospital for a check-up about one month after the operation to understand the recovery of the uterus and the effect of the abortion. Usually, you should avoid strenuous exercise and excessive work.

3. After abortion, you must prevent the symptoms of long-term constipation

Although short-term constipation will not cause much harm, it will affect women's health if it lasts for a long time. It will not only be detrimental to the body's recovery after surgery, but it may also cause pigmentation, poor skin and other adverse conditions, which will directly affect women's appearance. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the symptoms of constipation in time.
