Modern women have very open sexual attitudes, and many have experienced unintended pregnancies. Too many women choose to have their children removed through abortion after unexpected pregnancy. Abortion can cause significant harm to women's bodies. If you want to make your body healthier, it's best not to have an abortion. This article will introduce the harm of abortion and what should be paid attention to after abortion.
1、 What are the hazards of abortion
1. The harm of abortion to women's psychology is often overlooked. Many women who have undergone abortion, when they see their child born in the year of abortion, will think of the embryo they lost and feel a sense of guilt.
2. Repeated suction of the contents of the uterine cavity may cause adhesions between the uterine cavity and cervical canal, as well as accumulation of blood in the uterine cavity or retrograde flow of menstrual blood into the abdominal cavity, leading to endometriosis and periodic lower abdominal pain.
3. Repeated induced abortions can cause repeated damage to the basal layer of the endometrium, resulting in the inability of the functional layer to regrow. At this point, although the ovarian function is intact and ovulation occurs on time every month, amenorrhea occurs because the functional layer of the endometrium cannot regenerate after shedding, and therefore menstruation will not occur.
4. Pregnancy in the human body is a complex physiological process, characterized by increased levels of hormones such as progesterone, thickening of the endometrium, and breast enlargement, which lay the foundation for conceiving a fetus. Repeated induced abortion surgery can easily cause endocrine disorders, leading to menstrual irregularities.
5. Repeated artificial abortion surgery often requires scraping off the endometrium, and the more times it is scraped, the greater the damage to the endometrium. When attempting to conceive again, it is easy for placenta implantation and adhesions to occur, resulting in difficult labor and placental retention.
6. After each induced abortion, the endometrium cannot be completely repaired in the short term, and cervical mucus embolism is erased during surgery. In this way, bacteria can easily enter the uterine cavity, causing endometritis and cervicitis.
7. During pregnancy, the uterine wall becomes soft and thin. Multiple pregnancies and induced abortions can easily penetrate the soft and thin uterine wall, causing uterine perforation and endangering life.
2、 Precautions after abortion
1. Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition.
After abortion, patients should rest in bed for 2-3 days, and then get out of bed to gradually increase their activity time. Do not engage in heavy physical labor or cold water labor within half a month after the abortion to avoid exposure to cold. Pay attention to increasing nutrition, eat more protein rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, legumes, and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to promote the early repair of damaged organs.
2. Keep the external genitalia clean and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse.
After an abortion, the cervix is not completely closed and the endometrium undergoes a process of repair. During this period, special attention should be paid to maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia. The sanitary pads and underwear used should be washed and changed frequently, and sitz baths should be avoided within half a month after the operation to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection. Early sexual intercourse after abortion can easily cause acute endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and secondary infertility. Therefore, sexual activity is strictly prohibited within one month after the abortion procedure.
3. Observe the bleeding situation.
If there is vaginal bleeding for more than a week after an abortion, and even accompanied by lower abdominal pain, fever, cloudy and foul smelling vaginal discharge, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly.
4. Persist in practicing contraception.
After the abortion procedure, the ovarian and uterine functions gradually recover, and the ovaries ovulate on schedule. If contraception is not maintained, pregnancy will quickly return. Therefore, after the abortion procedure, reliable contraceptive measures should be selected early, and contraception must be the main method. Abortion surgery should not be used as a contraceptive measure.
This article provides a detailed introduction to the harm of abortion to women's bodies, as well as some issues that women should pay attention to after abortion. If you are a woman, you must take good care of your body, preferably not have an abortion, in order to protect your body, make your body healthier, and prepare for future childbirth.
