How long after abortion can I wash my hair?

Many times, it is believed that you cannot take a bath or wash your hair during this period, and it is treated as a confinement period after childbirth. In fact, you can wash your hair after a week at most. After all, abortion is a measure taken in the early stages of pregnancy, and it is far less harmful to the body than childbirth. Just pay attention to rest, strengthen nutrition and avoid contact with anything cold. Not taking a bath or washing your hair is not only unhygienic, but also makes your skin and hair not well cared for.

How long after an abortion can you wash your hair? This is not a matter of time. If you do not wash your hair for a long time after an abortion, it may cause hair loss, because the premise of healthy hair is cleanliness. The sebaceous glands at the root of the hair follicles are constantly active, and the oil secreted every day is easy to adhere to the dust in the environment, which is easy to increase the friction when combing the hair, causing the hair cuticles on the surface of the hair to curl up, and the hair will become dull, dry, split, and even break and fall off. Therefore, not washing your hair for a long time is very bad for the scalp, causing the sebum secretions and dust on the scalp to mix and accumulate, which not only affects the blood supply to the head, but also easily causes folliculitis or scalp infection. As long as you control the water temperature, blow dry after washing, and keep warm, you can bathe and wash your hair as usual after an abortion. What's more, washing your hair can also play a massage role and accelerate blood circulation.

How to wash your hair

Abortion experts recommend that women should wash their hair and take a shower before having a painless abortion. Generally, women should not wash their hair on the same day after a painless abortion to avoid catching a cold. If you really need to wash your hair, the water temperature should not be too low, and you should quickly dry it with a hair dryer (hot) after washing.

Generally, you can wash your hair and take a bath one week after a painless abortion, but you should take a shower and avoid a tub bath.

Other considerations

After painless abortion, take a proper rest, read less newspapers and TV, and avoid heavy physical labor. Eat more nutritious food and protein-rich substances to restore the body to normal as soon as possible. Generally speaking, avoid cold drinks for 7-10 days after surgery and avoid spicy food within one month.

Keep the external vagina clean and hygienic, and change sanitary napkins frequently. It is best not to touch cold water within a week. Do not sit in a bath within 2 weeks or before the vaginal bleeding has stopped. Do not have sex within 1 month to prevent genital infection. If you have a fever, abdominal pain, or abnormal odor in the secretions, you should see a doctor in time.

Generally, vaginal bleeding stops gradually in 3 to 5 days and lasts no longer than 10 to 15 days. If the amount of vaginal bleeding exceeds the amount of menstrual blood and lasts too long, you need to seek medical treatment in time. As long as you resume your sexual life after painless abortion, you must take contraceptive measures to avoid getting pregnant again. Under normal circumstances, the endometrial repair period is about half a year, so you need to pay special attention to prevent another pregnancy from causing damage to the uterus.
