What are the symptoms of infection after induced abortion?

For women who have an unexpected pregnancy, if they do not plan to have children and have missed the best time for an abortion, they can only undergo an induced abortion. Induced abortion is actually similar to giving birth. It can cause great harm to the female body. If you do not pay attention to care after the induced abortion, it is easy to cause infection. So what are the common symptoms of infection after induced abortion? The following are the symptoms of infection after induced labor.

1. Symptoms of infection after induced abortion

1. Persistent abdominal pain: If infection occurs after induced abortion, the patient will experience persistent lower abdominal pain and tenderness.

2. Abnormal secretions: If women do not receive proper care after induced abortion, they are likely to be infected with gynecological inflammations such as endometritis and myometritis. Once infected with gynecological inflammations, patients will have purulent secretions with an odor and sometimes blood.

3. Fever: If there is an infection after induced abortion, the patient will have a fever, and the body temperature will often reach 38°C. Some patients will have persistent high fever, and some patients will also have nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension and other discomfort symptoms.

2. In order to avoid infection after induced abortion, female friends need to pay attention to the following points:

1. After the induced abortion surgery, the patient needs to be hospitalized for about 5 days for anti-inflammatory treatment so as to help the patient recover as soon as possible.

2. After being discharged from the hospital after induced abortion, it is best for women to rest in bed for about two weeks to help their body recover.

3. After induced abortion, women are relatively weak and have poor resistance, which makes them susceptible to infection. Therefore, they need to pay attention to increasing nutrition and avoid eating raw, cold, spicy and irritating foods.

4. Pay attention to personal hygiene after induced abortion, rinse the vulva with clean water in the morning and evening, change underwear frequently, and do not take a sitz bath to avoid infection.

5. Avoid sexual intercourse within one month after induced abortion to prevent bacteria from entering the female uterus through sexual intercourse and causing infection.

How to take care of your body after induced abortion?

1. After induced abortion, pay attention to any signs such as vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, fever, chills, etc. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than 1 week, you should seek medical treatment promptly.

2. It is essential to strengthen nutrition and pay attention to rest. For a woman who has induced abortion, it is equivalent to giving birth to a child. Do not participate in physical labor too early, otherwise, it is easy to develop the root cause of "uterine prolapse". You should rest for at least half a month. At the same time, you should also pay attention to preventing colds and promote your body's recovery as soon as possible. It is generally recommended to wash your hair with warm water 2 weeks after induced abortion.

3. Take timely measures to stop breastfeeding. After a miscarriage or induced labor, due to the regulation of hormones in the body, the brain will temporarily control the secretion of prolactin to stimulate the body to produce milk. Therefore, after induced labor, timely measures should be taken to stop breastfeeding. You can take vitamin B6 orally, 200 mg each time, 3 times a day, for 3 consecutive days, or boil malt into soup and drink it. For women with excessive milk secretion, they can go to the hospital for a milk-reducing injection or use Chinese medicine to reduce milk secretion.

4. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva after induced abortion to prevent infection.

5. It is not advisable to have sexual intercourse or take a bath within one month after induced abortion to avoid bacterial growth and infection, which is not conducive to the recovery of the woman's body.

6. Pay attention to contraception after resuming sexual life. Since a woman's ovaries will resume ovulating about 30 days after induced abortion, once a woman resumes her sexual life, she must take appropriate contraceptive methods to avoid getting pregnant again.
