After a miscarriage, how should you take good care of yourself during the “confinement period”?

For various reasons, many families have to choose to abort their babies. Although they have not experienced childbirth, abortion can damage the uterus and the female's Qi and blood, and they need to take a short month to recover. So how should they sit during the "short month" after abortion to help women recover?

1. Keep warm and clean

After abortion, since the female endometrium is still in the recovery period and the cervix is ​​not completely closed, it is easy to get infected, especially in hot and humid weather. Therefore, hygiene is very important, especially the cleanliness of the vulva. In fact, it is okay to take a bath or wash your hair after abortion, but you must pay attention to keeping warm. It is not recommended to wash your hair every day during the "small confinement period", which will damage your yang energy. After washing your hair, you should blow dry your hair immediately, and you cannot let it dry naturally. It is best not to take a bath, but choose a shower. Do not take a sitz bath for at least two weeks. When taking a bath, pay attention to maintaining the temperature in the bathroom, and the water temperature should not be too low.

2. Don’t rush into sex

Sexual intercourse should be prohibited within one month after abortion, and can only be resumed after the menstruation is over one month later. There is a reason for prohibiting sexual intercourse within one month. At this time, the female cervix is ​​still open and cannot act as a barrier. If it is infected at this time, the female is likely to suffer from pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis and other gynecological diseases, and may even cause infertility.

3. Get plenty of rest

After a miscarriage, a woman's body is very weak and needs a lot of nutrients and water, especially to avoid constipation, fresh vegetables are also essential. Because women always sweat at this time, water is indispensable, but it is not recommended to drink cold water or frozen audio. Everyone's recovery after surgery is different, but at least rest more within half a month after surgery and do not do some physical labor. It is also not recommended for women to squat for a long time, which may cause uterine prolapse.

4. Bed rest is necessary

Many young women try to go back to work immediately after surgery because of work or other reasons, and cannot stay in bed to rest. But this is very undesirable. In fact, our country's laws stipulate that women can enjoy a certain period of maternity leave after a miscarriage. If the situation allows, in fact, at least one to two weeks of rest, if you are really busy, it would be more appropriate to rest in bed for two to three days.

We call the rest period after miscarriage "small confinement", which is in contrast to the "long confinement" after pregnancy. If you can get enough rest after miscarriage, it will not only be good for women's body, but also help them recover psychologically. The diet after miscarriage is also very particular. For example, eggs, red dates, brown sugar, etc. are very suitable for conditioning the body.
