Introduction by a Yuxi gynecologist: What misconceptions should women avoid when undergoing an abortion?

Stage with the change of concept, premarital cohabitation is common and many women, despite premarital cohabitation, end up accidentally pregnant due to improper contraception and have to choose to undergo abortion surgery.
However, this type of surgery interferes with the entire physiological process of gestational hypertension due to human factors and can harm women’s health to a certain extent. Therefore, women should have a certain grasp of the misconceptions about abortion surgery to avoid pitfalls.
So, what misconceptions should women avoid when undergoing abortion? The doctor from Xingyi Sunshine Hospital pointed out that women should avoid the following misconceptions:
01. Rest is not needed after abortion surgery, can work immediately
Some clinics claim that painless abortion can allow women to undergo the surgery without discomfort and feel fine after the surgery, able to resume work immediately on the second day. However, in reality, most women experience symptoms such as dizziness and headache after abortion, even with painless abortion.
Therefore, within 24 hours after surgery, avoid exercising or cycling, to prevent accidents and bleeding, and the viewpoint of no rest needed, able to work immediately is not accurate.
02. Abortion surgery is very common, can be done in street clinics
Due to the widespread nature of abortion surgery, many street clinics can perform abortions, and some women choose these street clinics due to being unmarried and wanting to keep it discreet or for cost-effectiveness.
However, these street clinics may lack proper medical equipment, cannot guarantee a sterile operation environment, and the skills of the physicians are questionable. Blindly following the trend can potentially cause harm to the uterus.
03. Not everyone is suitable for abortion
As abortion surgery is now more safe and complete, many believe that all women can undergo abortion. However, this idea is incorrect, as there are contraindications for abortion surgery such as those with heart disease, heart failure, and those experiencing vomiting or fever before surgery.
04. You can have an abortion whenever you want if you are unexpectedly pregnant
In reality, abortion surgery has a timing requirement and is only suitable for women within 14 weeks of pregnancy. The longer the pregnancy, the higher the risk of bleeding during surgery, and therefore abortion cannot be performed at any time.
Xingyi Sunshine Hospital reminds: Although abortion surgery is common, it is still a surgical procedure with potential harm to women. Therefore, women should take preventive measures in their daily lives and if accidentally pregnant, should seek abortion surgery at a legitimate hospital.
