Can't take a shower within a few days after abortion?

Many women choose to have an abortion after an unexpected pregnancy. We all know that in our lives, we need to take a "small month of confinement" after a miscarriage. Many old people say that you cannot take a bath within a month. So is this statement correct? In fact, you can take a shower one week after the abortion, but you need to keep warm to prevent catching a cold. So can’t take a shower within a few days after an abortion? Let’s take a look together below!

1. Keep the vulva clean after abortion, and do not have sex. The cervix has not completely closed after abortion, and the endometrium also has a process of repair. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. The sanitary napkins and underwear used should be washed and changed frequently. Do not sit in the bath within half a month after the operation to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection. You can take a shower after a week.

2. After an abortion, there will be trauma in the uterus and vaginal bleeding. If you are not careful, retrograde infection is likely to occur, causing gynecological inflammation. Therefore, after an abortion, you must pay attention to personal hygiene, take a proper bath, use the correct bathing method, and keep the vulva dry and clean.

3. In fact, after having an abortion, it is best for women to rest for a while before taking a bath. When taking a bath, they must use a shower bath, not a tub bath, because a tub bath will allow dirty water to enter the female's vagina, and the endometrium has a wound, which is prone to infection and causes great harm to women's health.

4. After the painless abortion, you can usually take a shower and wash your hair one week later, but be careful to avoid catching cold or wind. After a painless abortion, you only need to rest for half a month or a month, because people call this period of time the short confinement period. After painless abortion, due to the new trauma to the uterus and vaginal bleeding, retrograde infection is very likely to occur. Therefore, you are prohibited from taking a bath in a tub until the bleeding is clean, and you are prohibited from having sexual intercourse within one month.

The above briefly introduces the things that women should pay attention to when taking a bath after an abortion, as well as the things they should pay attention to keeping warm after an abortion. They should also pay attention to their diet and avoid eating spicy foods. They should also pay attention to maintenance after the operation, especially for women whose physical fitness is not very good.
