Self health care after artificial abortion

Abortion is the matter female does not want to be confronted with. However, we also have to meet the fact that almost every woman at child-bearing age experienced abortion at least once. Since it is unavoidable, you should protect yourself all the better. After all, it does harm to your body.

1. More rest and nutrition.

Patients should rest in bed for 2 or 3 days after artificial abortion, then can perform some out-of-bed activities, and increase the time of activity gradually. Patients also should not deal with the physical labor and cold water related job, apart from keeping cold away in the first half month after abortion. Pay more attention to nutrition and strengthen body's resistance to diseases. Those can help the impaired organ recover quickly. Food such as fish, meat, egg, preparation of bean which are rich of protein and fresh vegetables which are rich of vitamin should be eaten more to accelerate recovery after artificial abortion.

2. Clean maintainance for cunnus, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited.

Orifice of uterus is still not completely occlusive, and endometrium also needs time to recover after operation. During this time, what patients particularly need to do is washing underwear and changing sanitary napkin frequently to maintain cunnus clean and sanitary. Demibain should be avoided to prevent infection which caused by dirty water entering into vagina. If sexual intercourse is conducted too early after artificial abortion, acute endometritis, pelvic inflammation, even secondary infertility could occur. Therefore, sexual intercourse is prohibited strictly in first month after artificial abortion.

3 ． Notice the bleeding

If bleeding lasts for more than 1 week, and even accompanied with hypogastralgia, fever, and nepheloid and stink leucorrhea, patient should go to hospital timely for reexamination and treatment.

4 ． Reliable maintenance of contraception

Function of ovaries and uterus recovers gradually, and ovaries ovulate on time after artificial abortion. Thus, pregnancy will occur again soon because of contraceptive failure. Therefore, reliable contraceptive measures should be adopted timely, after artificial abortion. Artificial abortion only should be viewed as a remedy for contraceptive failure. Contraception rather than artificial abortion is the main approach for birth control.
