Experts remind: It is very important to have a checkup after an abortion.
As more and more people get unintended pregnancies these days, abortion has become increasingly common. Because of the prevalence of abortion, women often overlook the harm caused by it and think that once they go to the hospital for the procedure, everything will be fine. In this regard, gynecological experts remind Guangda women that it is very important to have a gynecological examination after an abortion. This is an indispensable means to prevent post-abortion gynecological diseases in women, and women should not ignore it.
Then, why is it important to have a gynecological examination after an abortion?
Experts introduce: Since women's resistance decreases after an abortion and due to the trauma caused by the abortion surgery to the female body, women are extremely vulnerable to various bacteria after an abortion. Moreover, some women do not rest according to the doctor's advice or do not pay attention to personal hygiene, making them highly susceptible to gynecological diseases. Only a gynecological examination after an abortion can promptly detect the signs of these diseases. Therefore, having a gynecological examination after an abortion ensures women's health and takes responsibility for their bodies.
Then, what does the gynecological examination after an abortion check for?
Experts introduce: The gynecological examination after an abortion is almost the same as a regular gynecological examination. It includes routine examinations, vaginal discharge tests, and ultrasound examinations. Women can go to the hospital 3-7 days after their period ends for secretion and ultrasound tests to confirm the recovery status. There are two types of ultrasounds: transvaginal and transabdominal, which can be chosen based on the woman's condition.
The time for a follow-up gynecological examination after an abortion depends on the individual situation of the woman. If all aspects are good, she can go to the hospital for a follow-up about one week after the vaginal bleeding stops.
The main focus of the gynecological examination after an abortion is to check if there is any incomplete abortion, postoperative infection, and the recovery status of the endometrium. If there are any abnormalities, they can be treated in time because if there is an infection or poor recovery after an abortion, it may leave sequelae that could affect future fertility.
Experts remind: Women must choose a regular hospital for the abortion surgery, and the gynecological examination after an abortion must not be skipped. Do not find it troublesome and leave potential health hazards.
