Many women are prone to unintended pregnancies during sexual activity due to a lack of self-protection awareness. In order to terminate the pregnancy, many women choose medical abortion, which has fewer side effects and is convenient and fast. So, does the entire process of medical abortion require hospitalization?
Whether to be hospitalized for medical abortion is mainly determined by the actual situation of the woman. If the woman is pregnant for less than 49 days and has no abnormal symptoms, she does not need to be hospitalized. She only needs to take medication continuously for three days. On the third day, she needs to go to the hospital for a check-up to see if the abortion is complete. If it is not complete, she may need to undergo a curettage surgery, which may require several days of hospitalization.
Medical abortion is also very harmful to women's bodies. Whether it is completely clean or not, it will cause certain damage to the endometrium, and in severe cases, it will affect future fertility. After medical abortion, the bleeding time is relatively long and the amount of bleeding is relatively large, which may cause heavy bleeding or chronic blood loss leading to anemia. If the abortion is not completely clean for a long time, it is also easy to develop secondary reproductive system infections.
After medical abortion, women should pay attention to bed rest, which is beneficial for the recovery of uterine contractions. Hot water bags can be used to apply heat to the abdomen, promote the discharge of lochia, and relieve pain. Spicy and stimulating foods as well as raw and cold foods should be avoided, and sexual intercourse should be avoided to avoid inflammation and infection. In addition, if abnormal bleeding occurs in the lower body, timely medical treatment is needed.
