Medical abortion is a way to terminate pregnancy through drugs, but you must pay attention to some things after medical abortion, especially like taking a bath. The slightest carelessness may cause infection, so you can take a shower a few days after the medical abortion!

Precautions after medical abortion

Quite a lot. You cannot come into contact with cold water too early after a medical abortion. It is best not to touch cold water within a month. It is forbidden to wash your hair, bathe, wash hands and clothes with cold water, so as to avoid arthritis caused by cold water stimulation, and leave pain in the joints and muscles of the cold parts. Generally, you can wash your hair and take a bath appropriately after a medical abortion, but be careful not to catch a cold.

1. Generally speaking, you can consider taking a bath one week after medical abortion. It is recommended to take a shower in the rain, not a tub bath. This is because the trauma on the endometrium has not yet recovered, the cervical opening is relaxed, the original mucus plug in the cervix has been removed, and the new mucus plug has not yet formed. A tub bath will allow dirty water to easily enter the uterine cavity and cause infection, which will cause trouble if you develop gynecological diseases.

2. After medical abortion, you should keep the vulva clean and hygienic. Many elders believe that you cannot wash your hair or take a bath within one month after abortion. This is an unscientific concept. You need to pay attention to the cleaning of the vulva after abortion. Wash it with warm water 1-2 times a day, change sanitary napkins frequently, clean up lochia in time, and prohibit sexual intercourse within 1 month to prevent reproductive organ infection. If you have fever, abdominal pain, or vaginal discharge with an unusual odor, it may be caused by infection and you should seek medical attention immediately.

3. After miscarriage, women are generally weak or mildly anemic. Diet one month after surgery is critical. They should eat more nutritious foods and exercise properly. They can do some light housework two weeks after surgery, but avoid strenuous exercise, otherwise uterine prolapse is likely to occur. Appropriate daily activity can help uterine contraction and physical recovery.
