Can uterine cleaning surgery lead to infertility?
Palace cleaning surgery has a certain impact on women's fertility and may lead to infertility. The cases of infertility caused by uterine cleaning surgery are as follows:
1. The hospital technology is not perfect, and many small and irregular hospitals do not have visual abortion technology. Palace cleaning surgery can only be performed through the experience of doctors, and the pain of the surgery is unbearable for ordinary patients. Therefore, patients may experience extreme reactions such as fear, tension, struggle, and restlessness during the surgery
2. When performing a curettage surgery, the procedure is tough and can lead to injury and inflammation of the cervix or endometrium. After the surgery, there is a high possibility of cervical or endometrial adhesions, intrauterine adhesions, menstrual disorders, and other problems, which can lead to infertility in the future.
Therefore, clearing the uterus can cause significant damage to the uterus, resulting in thinning of the endometrium, abnormal menstruation, and triggering gynecological inflammation. However, if multiple abortions are refused, care should be taken after miscarriage, and there is no serious infection or inflammation, as well as no gynecological diseases, it will not affect fertility.
How should I take care of myself after surgery?
1. Moderate rest: It is best to avoid participating in physical labor and physical exercise within half a month.
2. Pay attention to personal hygiene: After an abortion, it is important to maintain personal hygiene, otherwise infection may occur. Within one month after the abortion, sexual bleeding should be avoided. During the period of changing the sanitary pad, sitz baths are not allowed for half a month, and only bathing is allowed.
3. Pay attention to bleeding: About a week after the abortion, there is red or light red discharge in the vagina, with no significant amount or odor. If the bleeding time exceeds 15 days and the bleeding volume exceeds the menstrual volume, especially if the secretion has a foul odor, accompanied by symptoms such as fever and abdominal pain, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner to avoid worsening the condition.
4. Contraception: Prohibition of sexual activity for one month. Once sexual activity resumes, it is important to do a good job in contraception to avoid accidental pregnancy. The most important thing is to actively resist infection, as it is easy to get infected after surgery. It is best to use medication scientifically under the guidance of a doctor.
5. Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition. After an abortion, one should rest in bed for 2-3 days and gradually increase their activity time by getting out of bed. Do not engage in physical or cold water labor within half a month after an abortion to avoid catching a cold.
