In modern society, people are becoming more and more open-minded. More and more unmarried men and women are living together, and the number of women who have unintended pregnancies is also increasing year by year. Unexpected pregnancy brings a lot of inconvenience to life and work, so many people choose to have abortion. Although abortion is a minor operation, it has a great impact on women's health. So, what are the dangers for women having abortions? How to maintain health after abortion?

What are the dangers of abortion for women?

1. Endometriosis

Repeated aspiration of uterine cavity contents may cause adhesions in the uterine cavity and cervical canal. Hematometra may also occur or menstrual blood may flow back into the abdominal cavity, causing endometriosis and periodic lower abdominal pain.

2. Long-term complications

Such as chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, abnormal menstruation, secondary infertility, and endometriosis.

3. Uterine perforation, life-threatening

During pregnancy, the uterine wall becomes soft and thin. Multiple pregnancies and multiple abortion surgeries can easily penetrate the soft and thin uterine wall, causing uterine perforation, which is life-threatening.

4. Complications during another pregnancy

Infertility, higher rates of late-term abortions, higher rates of premature births, higher perinatal mortality, increased prenatal and postpartum hemorrhage rates, and increased neonatal hemolytic disease.

5. Amenorrhea occurs

When artificial abortion is performed multiple times in a row, the basal layer of the endometrium will be repeatedly damaged, resulting in the inability of the functional layer to re-grow. At this time, although the ovarian function is intact and ovulation occurs on time every month, because the functional layer of the endometrium cannot regenerate after shedding, menstruation will not occur, so amenorrhea occurs.

6. Dystocia and retained placenta during subsequent pregnancy

Repeated abortion operations often require scraping off the endometrium. The more times you scrape, the greater the damage to the endometrium. When trying to get pregnant again, placenta accreta and adhesions are prone to occur, resulting in dystocia and retained placenta.

How to take care of yourself after abortion?

1. Maintain regularity in life

Even if the abortion operation is successful, if the hand's life after the abortion is irregular, it will aggravate the bleeding or leave sequelae. After a miscarriage, you can rest in the hospital for a day or go home. In the next few days, you will have to go to the hospital for observation and treatment, and ensure adequate rest.

2. Supplement nutrition

After an abortion, you should eat a nutritious and balanced diet to replenish your body and restore health quickly. You can eat more meat, eggs, milk, legumes, whole grains, and fresh vegetables to supplement the protein, folic acid, vitamins and other substances needed for recovery and promote the body to recover as quickly as possible.

3. Adjust psychology

Terminating a pregnancy is generally a very guilt-ridden thing for women, often causing psychological shadow and even lifelong self-blame.

Therefore, the man and his family should be more considerate and caring after the operation. I also need to continue to educate myself. Now that I have decided to terminate the pregnancy, I should not regret or blame myself. I should turn over this page, take good care of myself, and start over.

4. Pay attention to rest

After an abortion, the state stipulates that the family planning leave is 2 weeks. During these two weeks, try to stay in bed, sleep more, and move less. There will be bleeding during the operation and there will be wounds in the uterus, which is a major trauma to the body. Therefore, recovery takes a good amount of rest. Be careful not to engage in heavy physical labor or heavy exercise activities within a month.

5. Pay attention to hygiene

After artificial abortion, the cervix is ​​open, and bacteria and viruses can pass through the vagina and cervix and directly ascend to the uterine cavity, easily causing vaginal infection, cervical infection and uterine cavity infection. Due to the special anatomical relationship of women, it can also cause fallopian tube inflammation, pelvic inflammatory disease, peritonitis, and even sepsis, which are life-threatening. Therefore, pay attention to vulva hygiene, and prohibit bathing and swimming within a month.
