What details of life should you pay attention to after having an abortion?

Although abortion surgery is a small operation, it sometimes has a relatively large impact on women's health. If they are not properly taken care of, it may even cause some sequelae and even cause women to have symptoms of infertility in the future. Therefore, you must get enough rest after the abortion. It is best to rest in bed for the first few days. Pay attention to the hygiene of your private parts, strengthen your diet, and eat more foods that help improve your body's immunity.

1. Pay attention to rest after artificial abortion

You cannot go back to work right away. You should rest in bed for 2 or 3 days to allow your body to 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 after abortion

Especially the cleanliness of the vulva. The cervix has not completely closed after the 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. Underwear should also 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

Within one month after an artificial abortion, there will be red or light red secretions in the vagina. 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.

5. Pay attention to strengthening nutrition

You should supplement more foods containing high-quality protein, which can help strengthen your physical fitness, but you should also be careful not to eat too much greasy food, which will affect normal digestion and absorption. At this time, it is especially taboo to eat raw, cold, and hard food. Special attention should be paid to the fact that things taken out of the refrigerator cannot be eaten immediately but must be heated before consumption.
