After an unexpected pregnancy, many people choose to have an induced abortion. Some women, after undergoing an abortion, worry that their body may not be completely emptied and choose to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination or buy early pregnancy test strips to test their urine. Sometimes the test strips may show positive results. So, why does an abortion still show pregnancy?
After undergoing an abortion, it still shows pregnancy. This is because even if the abortion surgery has been performed, there may be cases where the hormone levels in the body have not yet reached equilibrium after the surgery, and there may still be positive results when tested with a pregnancy test paper. Because during previous pregnancy, women's progesterone levels would increase, but after surgery, the progesterone levels in the body have not yet reached equilibrium and it takes some time to return to normal. Some women even need two months to reach normal levels. Therefore, if pregnancy still appears after the abortion surgery, there is no need to be too nervous. Just pay more attention to observing your body, and after a period of recovery, it will gradually return to normal levels.
It is recommended that women who have had an abortion pay attention to rest, supplement their nutrition, avoid heavy physical exertion and emotional restlessness, have a light diet, avoid eating raw, cold, spicy and stimulating foods, do not engage in sexual activity, and do not take baths to avoid bacterial infections. If you are worried about your health, you can take the test again in a month.
