Can women become infected after induced abortion? What are the symptoms of infection caused by induced abortion

The situation of infection after an abortion is not uncommon, but what is serious is that most female friends who actively treat this situation blindly choose methods. The postoperative infection becomes increasingly severe, and ultimately the condition deteriorates. How can we understand the situation of infection after an abortion?

Symptoms of infection after abortion

1. Symptoms of bleeding: indicating infection. Generally speaking, there are symptoms of bleeding during a painless abortion. After placental detachment, there is a small amount of bleeding on the wound surface left on the uterine wall. As the uterus contracts and the wound is repaired, vaginal bleeding generally stops within 3-5 days, with a maximum of 10-15 days. However, if the bleeding volume exceeds the menstrual volume for more than 15 days and is abnormal, it is necessary to immediately go to the hospital to investigate the cause.

2. The presence of brown secretions: There are also cases of infection after an abortion with brown secretions. Generally, there is something brown after painless abortion. After the surface of the uterus is injured, the wound gradually heals, and the film that falls off from the wound surface is brown. This process usually takes about 3 days, and infection can occur after more than 3 days.

3. Mild abdominal pain: On the day after painless induced abortion, there may be slight discomfort, pain, or slight vaginal bleeding in the lower abdomen, severe abdominal pain, or excessive or prolonged vaginal bleeding.

4. Other symptoms include lower abdominal pain, low back pain, continuous vaginal bleeding, and rising body temperature. Some women do not know why such symptoms occur after an abortion. This may be a postoperative infection.

What to do with infection after abortion

1. After the diagnosis of infection after abortion surgery, immediate infection prevention and treatment should be carried out, and a follow-up examination should be conducted at the hospital to prevent inflammation from spreading to the pelvis and causing deep tissue infection and infertility.

2. After a painless abortion, female friends need to undergo ultrasound examination at the hospital about 7-10 days after the abortion, mainly to check for incomplete abortion, postoperative infection, and endometrial recovery.

3. Severe abdominal pain after abortion, excessive bleeding or other abnormalities should be immediately re examined.

4. Abortion is a remedial measure after contraceptive failure. After surgery, the body's resistance decreases, and recovery takes time. Regular follow-up is necessary after surgery.

5. Eating foods rich in vitamins and high-quality protein can improve one's resistance and physical fitness. It plays a role in preventing infection. We should pay attention to rest and not be too tired after the abortion surgery.
