Can I wash my feet after an abortion?

In fact, the physical recovery period after abortion is equivalent to a confinement period. Therefore, women who choose abortion must pay attention to the golden period of their body recovery. If they do not pay attention to their body recovery, it may bring many adverse effects to their body. Normal people need to wash their feet every day to effectively kill the fungus on their feet, and soaking feet in hot water is also a behavior that is beneficial to health. But can you wash your feet after an abortion?

You can wash your feet after an abortion, but the water temperature should be relatively high and the time should be shorter. Just be careful not to catch cold. It is recommended that you take a bath at least three days after the last two days. And this time must be short. Be careful not to catch cold or wind, so as not to cause adverse reactions such as migraine. In addition, when taking a bath in time, you can only take a shower and never take a bath in a tub, otherwise it is easy to cause diseases such as uterine infection.

Many women, especially unmarried women, mistakenly believe that medical abortion is not a surgery and will not harm the body. In fact, medical abortion, like vacuum abortion, is an artificial intervention in the physiological process of pregnancy, which will harm women's health to a certain extent.

(1) Infection. After a woman takes anti-pregnancy drugs, the embryonic sac tissue in the uterine cavity can be discharged on the same day. Sometimes the pregnancy tissue is not completely discharged, the uterus is poorly involuted, and vaginal bleeding lasts for a long time, which can last for 2 to 3 weeks or even 1 to 2 months. Long-term chronic blood loss can cause anemia and reduce the body's resistance. At this time, bacteria often go back through the vagina and cause inflammation of the endometrium.

(2) Incomplete abortion. Some women suffer incomplete miscarriage after taking the medicine, which affects uterine contraction and the repair of endometrial wounds, and causes a significant increase in vaginal bleeding, which is 2 to 3 times more than the normal menstrual volume. In severe cases, heavy bleeding may occur, leading to anemia and shock, requiring blood transfusions and emergency surgery for curettage and hemostasis.

(3) Impact on subsequent pregnancy. If unmarried women have multiple births or repeated miscarriages, the endometrium may be repeatedly damaged. During pregnancy, placenta previa is prone to occur, which can cause heavy bleeding before and during delivery. Some women also experience habitual miscarriage or even secondary infertility due to multiple artificial abortions.

(4) Menstrual disorders. Drugs can inhibit the function of the ovaries, affect the growth and development of follicles and even ovulation. Some women may experience menstrual disorders after medical abortion, which are manifested by shortened or prolonged menstrual cycles and increased menstrual flow.

Therefore, although medical abortion is relatively safe and effective, there are still a few cases where adverse reactions and serious complications may occur. Moreover, the Ministry of Health has set qualifications for departments that provide medical abortion. Pharmacies are not allowed to sell medical abortion drugs privately, otherwise they will be treated as violating the law. Therefore, it is recommended that women with unexpected pregnancies do not attempt to have an abortion by medication on their own. They must go to a regular hospital for treatment and cherish their health and their lives.
