After abortion, the health of pregnant women will always be hurt, but as long as health care can be strengthened in time, it will generally recover quickly. To this end, we must pay attention to the following aspects:
Pay attention to personal hygiene and properly strengthen nutrition: because abortion generally loses a certain amount of blood, it will temporarily cause mild anemia. Therefore, we should eat more nutritional supplements after abortion, such as lean meat, fish, eggs, milk, bean products, animal liver and kidney, fresh vegetables and fruits. At the time of abortion, the cervix is in an open state, and it takes some time to completely close it. Pay special attention to personal hygiene after abortion, keep the genitals clean, wash and change underwear frequently, and don't take a bath for half a month. At the same time, it should be noted that sexual life is absolutely forbidden within 1 month to prevent infection.
Do a good job of contraception and don't get pregnant too early: because the endometrium is congested after abortion? It will take 4 ~ 5 months to fully return to normal. If you get pregnant in advance, it will increase the incidence of teratoma and hinder eugenics. Therefore, pregnancy should be avoided within 5 months after abortion.
Keep a happy mood and pay attention to mental health: Many women are depressed after abortion and often worry about the recurrence of abortion in the future. In fact, these worries are unnecessary. Because, the vast majority of spontaneous abortions are accidental events, which may only happen once in a lifetime; At the same time, about 70% of the fetus or embryo tissues in spontaneous abortion are abnormal embryos, which is actually a kind of "natural elimination" in favor of eugenics. So, don't be too sad about abortion. Otherwise, bad emotions will hinder the recovery of the body after abortion.
Pay attention to adequate rest and avoid overwork: stay in bed after abortion 1 ~ 2 weeks, and do not take part in manual labor too early to prevent overwork. If you engage in heavy physical labor too early, you can increase the incidence of uterine prolapse.
Matters needing attention after abortion
1. Keep a regular life: Even if the abortion operation is successful, if the postoperative life is irregular, it will aggravate bleeding or leave sequelae. After the operation, you can take a day off in the hospital or go home. In the next few days, I will go to the hospital for observation and treatment to ensure adequate rest.
2. Keep your clothes loose and don't wear tight clothes.
In the meantime, don't drink alcohol and don't take a bath without the doctor's permission, because bathing can sometimes cause infection.
4. 10 days to 2 weeks after the bleeding stops completely.
In order to ensure the health of the parturient, don't get pregnant immediately after the operation, because the uterus is damaged during the operation, and pregnancy is very dangerous at this time, so we must take safe contraceptive measures.
6. If drug abortion is used, it must be observed by a doctor to see whether the drug works and whether the abortion is complete.
7. From the second day of the operation, don't overwork and don't exercise.
Note that the above points generally do not lead to infertility and sequelae. It is best not to have an abortion unless absolutely necessary. Medical facts have proved that with the increase of induced abortion, the risk of infertility and sequelae is also increasing.
Induced abortion left a big wound on the inner wall of uterus, leaving a gap for the invasion of external infectious sources. Therefore, antibiotics should be used routinely to prevent it. Antibiotics can not only inhibit exogenous bacterial infection, but also affect the balance of normal intestinal flora.
Proper diet can supplement the injured body with anti-infective substances, and vitamin A has special benefits for maintaining the health of membrane tissue and promoting repair. Vitamin A mainly comes from animal food, especially in the liver. Carotenoids from plants also have certain vitamin A activity. Vegetarian diet can improve the absorption and utilization of vitamin A. Protein is the second indispensable nutrition to prevent infection. Soybeans, all kinds of meat, eggs, milk and even whole grains can provide a lot of protein.
Within a few days after abortion, in order to maintain intestinal health, we need to use a variety of plant nutrients, such as soluble dietary fiber in vegetables and fruits, insoluble dietary fiber in coarse grains and miscellaneous beans, which can provide nutrition for the growth of normal intestinal flora and maintain a balanced state.
Supplementing blood and invigorating qi depends on diet
Traditional medicine believes that fatigue, pallor, low back pain and fatigue often occur after induced abortion are caused by both qi and blood injuries. Indeed, abortion can lead to blood loss, while pain and tension can hurt the spirit. When you are a little older, you will be more sensitive to the injury of abortion, and it often takes longer to make up for both qi and blood.
Speaking of invigorating qi and blood, there are many traditional dietotherapy methods worth learning. Astragalus membranaceus, donkey-hide gelatin, brown sugar, jujube, glutinous rice, japonica rice, old hen, ginger, spinach and ebony all have miraculous effects of astringing and stopping bleeding, invigorating qi and enriching blood. In addition, pork, animal liver and blood tofu also have the function of supplementing iron and generating blood. At the same time, taking enough vitamin C can increase the efficiency of iron absorption and utilization. Therefore, we should pay attention to the collocation of meat and vegetables in our diet.
Nutrition tips for soothing emotions
Physical trauma is always accompanied by psychological changes. For a long time before and after induced abortion, women will become a little self-pitying and neurotic. Either you don't care enough about getting care, or you are worried that it will affect your health in the future. Abnormal anxiety is very tormenting. Proper diet may untie the knot and restore happiness and self-confidence.
From the nutritional point of view, vitamin B 1, vitamin B6, nicotinic acid, vitamin C, potassium, iron and calcium in the diet are essential elements to fight against negative emotions, while chocolate, cheese, apples, bananas, day lilies, hard fruits (peanuts, walnuts, pine nuts, etc. ), dairy products, etc. It's food to keep a peaceful mood.
Examples of post-abortion diet
To sum up, the diet after induced abortion needs to play multiple roles of anti-infection, nourishing qi and blood, regulating mood and resisting oxidation. Food mix should be comprehensive in nutrition and variety, and avoid excessive intake of fat, which will provide the greatest help for women's comprehensive recovery.
