What should I pay attention to after taking pills for abortion?

Many friends may become pregnant unexpectedly without being careful. The baby may come at an inappropriate time, or the uncertainty about the future, or the fear of having a child, etc. may make the pregnant mother consider having an abortion. In addition to going to the hospital for an abortion, taking medicine to induce abortion is also a method that many people would consider. However, there are many things to pay attention to when taking medicine for abortion. If you are not careful, you may suffer from serious sequelae. Below are the issues that the editor has compiled for everyone to pay attention to after taking medicine for abortion.

1. Oral abortion drugs must be used in medical institutions with emergency, curettage, infusion and blood transfusion conditions. They must be taken under the guidance of a doctor and only for those who are confirmed to have a normal intrauterine pregnancy and are in early pregnancy within 56 days of pregnancy. Secondly, you must understand the possible side effects in detail before taking the medicine. If heavy bleeding or other abnormal conditions occur, you should seek medical attention immediately. Thirdly, you should go to the original treatment unit for a follow-up visit 8 to 15 days after taking the medicine to determine the effect of the abortion. If necessary, do B-ultrasound or urine-HCG test. If it is confirmed that the abortion is incomplete or the pregnancy is continuing, you should go to the hospital for further treatment in time.

2. Sexual intercourse is prohibited after taking the medicine.

3. Do not wash the basin, do not douche, swim, catch a cold, or eat spicy food within one month after taking abortion pills.

4. After taking abortion pills, you should also pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue. You can take blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs such as motherwort paste to promote uterine contraction, expel embryonic tissue, reduce the amount of uterine bleeding, and shorten the bleeding time.

5. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than 7 days, you should take antibiotics under the guidance of a doctor to prevent infection. If bleeding continues for more than two weeks, you should go to the hospital to find out the cause and undergo a uterine curettage if necessary.

6. Anyone who undergoes a uterine curettage due to failed abortion, incomplete abortion, or heavy bleeding after taking abortion pills must take antibiotics after the operation.

Female friends who choose to take medicine to have an abortion should pay more attention to the above points. Abortion should be done in a correct, safe and healthy way. No matter what method is used to induce abortion, if it is not handled properly, it may affect the subsequent pregnancy and childbearing plans. If any adverse symptoms occur after taking medicine for abortion, you should go to the hospital for medical treatment in time.
