How long after abortion can I exercise?

Abortion causes great harm to women, and timely measures should be taken to recover after the abortion. Normally speaking, exercising is a good choice, but it is not possible for women whose physical condition is still very poor after an abortion. Therefore, the choice of exercise time after an abortion should also be carefully considered. So, how long after an abortion can you exercise? Let’s take a look together.

After an abortion, there may be a small amount of bleeding from the wound left on the uterine wall. In this case, as the uterus contracts and the wound heals, vaginal bleeding will gradually stop within 3-5 days and will not exceed 10-15 days at most. If you are stimulated by exercise at this time, it may cause bleeding, which is not conducive to your recovery!

For a period of time after an abortion, the trauma on the endometrium has not yet recovered, the cervical opening has relaxed, the original mucus plug in the cervix (which prevents bacteria from entering the uterine cavity) has been removed, and a new mucus plug has not yet formed. If you do not pay attention to the hygiene of the vulva at this time, bacteria in the vagina can easily enter the uterine cavity and cause infection. Therefore, after an abortion, you should keep the vulva clean and hygienic, wash it with warm water 1-2 times a day, and change menstrual pads and straw paper frequently. Do not take a sitz bath within 2 weeks or before vaginal bleeding has stopped, and avoid sexual intercourse within 1 month to prevent genital 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.

It is best to rest for a month after an abortion and do not do strenuous exercise, because the uterus has not fully recovered at that time. You can do some exercise, such as taking a walk or walking slowly in the house. These are all fine. Don't sit still for a long time. Proper exercise will help recovery.

The huge impact of abortion on women also forces women to pay attention to the problems after abortion. It is definitely not allowed to do strenuous exercise after an abortion, but women can do some exercises with smaller movements to recover. In short, women should also pay attention to their own contraceptive measures and take preventive measures, which will be the greatest help to their health.
