I am not a judge. Therefore, I will not begin to talk about what you need and do not need to do to a pregnant woman who has decided on an abortion. Someone did this consciously and not for the first time, others simply did not see any other way out. However, each of you at the moment in your head sounds only one question: "How to live on?".
So you have already done this. Now you should pay attention to your health. You probably know that abortion in most cases is fraught with various kinds of complications. This applies not only to physical health, but also to the emotional state of a woman. Most likely, you have already been warned about the possibility of some negative consequences after an abortion. However, let me remind you of all this again.
An abortion is an operation. It is a kind of violence over your body. Therefore, such an intervention in the natural process of fetal development can cause a large number of diseases and complications. In addition, after an abortion , fifteen percent of the fairer sex has a malfunction in the menstrual cycle. As for the restoration of this cycle, in a woman giving birth after an abortion, this process often takes more than three months. Should we talk about how much it will take for a girl who has terminated her first pregnancy? In nulliparous, ovulation and the menstrual cycle will be restored no earlier than six months later. According to statistics, every fourth woman suffers from gynecological diseases that appear in her after an abortion. And finally, artificial termination of pregnancy threatens to disrupt the nervous, endocrine and immune systems.
It is worth noting that in this case, the duration of the patient’s abortion was also of considerable importance. Of course, surgery is much more dangerous than medical abortion. However, you do not need to console yourself with the hopes that everything will pass without consequences if you have terminated the pregnancy with special drugs. This is an equally painful process for the whole organism. As for rehabilitation, its duration also depends on the term of the interrupted pregnancy, the physical health of the woman herself, her age and many other factors. For example, the easiest way for a woman after a mini-abortion. It is done in the first weeks of pregnancy, the fetus is still small in size. In addition, from the point of view of the emotional state of a woman, it is much easier for her to transfer just such an operation. Early abortion rehabilitation takes about eight weeks.
Naturally, immediately after the operation itself, for some time the woman will be disturbed by pulling pains in the lower abdomen, periodic bleeding (more profuse than menstrual flow) and even increased body temperature. However, more serious complications are possible. For example, some occur almost immediately after the abortion itself or even during it, others - a year or more after the operation. There is a special category of women, so to speak, a risk group. In their case, the likelihood of such an outcome is high. These are the fair sex, who turned to a similar method of ridding themselves of an unwanted pregnancy more than two times. This also includes women suffering from diseases of the blood, genitals. Do not forget about patients who underwent surgery on the ovaries or the uterus. And naturally, pre-pregnant girls are also at risk.
Abortion is often the cause of subsequent ectopic pregnancies. Regardless of how long you completed this, you need to follow some recommendations. First, the first time after an abortion, your uterus is an open wound. An infection can penetrate into it, which should not be allowed in any case. For this reason, you should not resume sexual activity for at least three to four weeks. Keep track of your menstrual cycle. If your previous “schedule” is lost, visit your doctor. It is necessary to exclude any physical activity for a couple of weeks. If you notice that your body temperature has risen, there are pains in the lower abdomen, spotting has appeared, urgently seek help from a specialist. Pay particular attention to personal hygiene and genital care. Observing these rules, you will accelerate the process of restoration of the body. If psychological help is required, seek it out from your relatives, relatives, who are able to provide you with support in this situation, and to a psychologist.
