Although abortion can effectively terminate pregnancy, it also causes harm to the body. Therefore, after surgery, women should take good care of themselves to reduce the harm to the body and prevent the occurrence of some complications. However, how long does it take to rest during abortion?
Having an abortion requires about half a month of rest, and women should try to rest in bed for two to three days after the surgery before slowly getting out of bed and moving around. If the degree of damage during the surgery is significant, it is necessary to rest for a few more days. In addition, women should also strengthen their nutrition, consume sufficient protein, and enhance their body's resistance.
It is normal for vaginal bleeding to occur after an abortion, but it usually does not last for too long. If it lasts for more than a week and is accompanied by lower abdominal pain, body fever, and abnormal foul smelling vaginal discharge, it is necessary to go to the hospital for follow-up diagnosis and treatment in a timely manner. Before the uterus recovers, women should not engage in sexual intercourse or take sitz baths to avoid bacteria entering the vagina and causing infections.
Women need to wait until their bodies have recovered before they can return to work normally, and they should also do a good job of contraception during sexual intercourse. They should not get pregnant too early to avoid miscarriage. Multiple abortions are more harmful to the body, so women can use intrauterine contraceptive devices to prevent pregnancy. This is a safer method of contraception and reduces the number of abortions. If abortions are too frequent, it may also lead to habitual miscarriage or even infertility.
