What is the best time for postpartum curettage?

1. Under normal circumstances, if the bleeding is not too much, the uterus can be cleaned within 48 hours of delivery. During this period, the mother can have a certain amount of rest time to restore her energy and strength. Although it is induced labor, it still consumes the mother's physical strength. If there is a lot of bleeding, it is estimated that the placenta is retained or slightly adhered, and the uterus should be cleaned up immediately to remove the placenta and stop the bleeding.

2. After curettage, bleeding usually only lasts for two or three days. If bleeding occurs for more than one week after the operation, or is even accompanied by abnormal symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for follow-up examination and treatment in time. You must also take safe contraceptive measures. After the operation, the ovarian and uterine functions will gradually recover. If you do not insist on taking safe contraceptive measures, you will get pregnant again soon. Therefore, reliable contraceptive measures should be chosen as soon as possible after surgery.

3. After postpartum curettage, you should pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition. Do not engage in heavy physical labor or work in cold water in the second half month of the curing period to avoid catching cold. Pay attention to increasing nutrition, enhancing the body's resistance to disease, and promoting early repair of damaged organs. Keep the vulva clean and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic.
