What to pay attention to after abortion? Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition

The body of a woman after miscarriage is special and needs careful care and maintenance. She should rest more after the operation, pay attention to adequate nutrition, and also pay attention to the health and hygiene of her private parts. If any abnormal conditions are found, she should go to the hospital for examination in time.

1. There may be a low fever on the first day after painless abortion, mild, paroxysmal abdominal pain within 2 to 3 days after surgery and it tends to ease, a small amount of vaginal bleeding within one week after surgery, no menstruation about one month after surgery, and heavy menstruation within 2 to 3 months after surgery. These may be normal conditions after painless abortion.

2. After painless abortion, you should pay attention to vaginal bleeding to prevent the condition from getting worse. If there is no discomfort, you can follow the doctor's advice and go to the hospital for a vaginal B-ultrasound examination and routine secretion check two weeks or one month after your menstruation resumes to understand the postoperative recovery situation. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after an abortion, and is accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

3. Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition. After outpatient surgery, you should rest in the observation room for 1 hour as instructed by the doctor and can return home only without special circumstances. After painless abortion, you should rest in bed for 2 to 3 days, and then you can get out of bed and move around, gradually increasing the activity time.

Do not engage in heavy physical labor or work in cold water within half a month after the painless abortion to avoid catching cold; after the painless abortion, you should eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, bean products and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up your body's recovery.

4. Keep the vulva clean and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse. After painless abortion, the cervix has not completely closed and the endometrium also has a repair process. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic, and sanitary napkins and other products and underwear used should be washed and changed frequently.

Do not take a sitz bath within half a month after the operation to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If you have sexual intercourse too early after painless abortion, it can easily cause acute endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and may also lead to secondary infertility. Therefore, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month after painless abortion.

5. Adhere to contraception. After painless abortion, the ovarian and uterine functions gradually recovered and the ovaries produced eggs on schedule. If you don't stick to contraception, you will get pregnant again soon.
