Abortion is currently a minimally invasive surgery, but it is related to women's future fertility. Therefore, both before and after abortion surgery should be taken seriously. Only by doing relevant precautions can women's bodies recover faster and avoid various complications. So, what are the precautions before abortion surgery? Let's take a look below.
What are the precautions before abortion surgery
Women need to go to the hospital for examination before undergoing abortion surgery. B-ultrasound examination can determine whether there is an intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy cannot undergo abortion surgery, even if the pregnancy is within 49 days of intrauterine pregnancy. If women are allergic to medication or have a constitution of allergies, they also need to truthfully inform their doctors to avoid various situations that may occur during the surgical process. Do not eat or drink for 6 hours before the abortion procedure, and avoid sexual intercourse for one week before the procedure.
Which women are not suitable for abortion surgery
1. Younger women are not suitable for abortion surgery. Women under the age of 16 are not suitable for abortion due to incomplete uterine development, otherwise it will affect future pregnancy and even lead to infertility. Women over 50 years old are also not suitable for abortion surgery. The elasticity of the reproductive tract is poor after 50 years old, and there is a high risk of damaging the reproductive tract during the abortion process. It is recommended that women over 50 years old do not undergo abortion surgery.
2. Women who have undergone a cesarean section within the past two years are also not suitable for abortion surgery, as it can easily lead to uterine perforation. Women with reproductive tract abnormalities are not conducive to surgical operation, and abortion surgery is not recommended to avoid some complications in the body.
