As the pace of society accelerates, many women face a real problem with abortion: how long will they be able to work? In order not to delay work, some returned to their jobs two or three days after the operation, resulting in abdominal pain, indigence, etc.; others were too anxious to return to work at home for months. In fact, there is no single answer for the duration of the post-abortion re-entry period, and the core is a combination of surgical methods, physical condition and work intensity. Today we're going to give you a detailed look at cope and help you find the right pace to get back to work。
I. Type of first-reading operation: different ways, different bases for recovery
1. Drug abortion: recommended rest of at least 1-2 weeks
Drug abortion does not require surgery and mechanical damage to the uterus is small, but causes hysteria similar to childbirth, with a relatively long bleeding period, usually 7-10 days. After the abortion, women suffer from symptoms such as apparent inactivity, dizziness, pale color, uterus need one to two weeks for basic contraction to recover, and membranes need sufficient time to heal. Early work, especially in standing, moving or requiring light physical effort, can increase bleeding, prolong recovery cycles and even increase the risk of infection。
Abortion: 2-3 weeks in the ordinary sector, 3-5 days in the absence of pain
The general abortion can cause direct damage to the uterine membrane, followed by small haemorrhage and abdominal pain, and physical recovery takes two to three weeks. While pain-free abortion can alleviate the pain of the operation, anaesthesia can cause some irritation, post-operative vertigo, nausea, etc., and uterus damage may be similar to the general population. It is therefore recommended that an additional three-to-five days of rest be taken from ordinary people, until the aesthetic side effects are fully abated and physical condition stabilized。
Ii. Read body signals: these are expressions of “renewability”
1. Disappearment of core symptoms: haemorrhage, basic abdominal pain relief
Hemorrhage is a key indicator of recovery. If post-operative haemorrhage is gradually reduced, the colour changes from fresh red to dark red or brown, and eventually ceases completely, without symptoms such as apparent abdominal pain and abdominal acid, suggesting that the uterus is recovering smoothly. Conversely, if haemorrhage continues for more than 10 days, or the abdominal pain is aggravated or even fever occurs, timely medical treatment and a corresponding delay in returning to work。
2. Physical recovery: no longer weak, dizzy
Abortion leads to loss of blood at different levels, and post-operative symptoms of physical inactivity, dizziness, sleep addiction and shortness are prevalent among women, which are signs of physical rest. When you have normal routines, when you wake up without a clear sense of fatigue, and when you do routine sweeps, cooking, shopping, etc., you don't feel tired, it means that you've basically recovered. It is recommended to continue to rest and rest in peace if there is still a small amount of activity which affects working conditions and health。
3. Mental stability: emerging from anxiety, depression
In addition to physical damage, abortion can cause psychological stress, anxiety, depression, etc. For women. A prolonged period of bad mood not only affects physical recovery but also reduces productivity. It is recommended that the mental state be restored and that work and life return to work in a balanced manner and, if necessary, with the company and guidance of family and friends。
Iii. Combining the intensity of work: do not let it slow down and restore progress
1. Light physical work: can be resumed as early as possible after meeting the standards
If you work mainly in shifts, mainly in typing, working, and without the need for extensive movement or manual labour, you can resume work at an appropriate early stage, on the basis of “surgery recovery time” and “body signal compliance”. For example, one week after an abortion and two weeks after an ordinary abortion, you can return to work if you are not physically fit to do so, but care is taken to move up to 5 to 10 minutes per hour of work, so as not to be burdened with pelvis blood as a result of prolonged sitting。
2. Heavy physical/high-intensity work: at least 3-4 weeks rest
In the case of work that requires long standing, heavy lifting or overnight overtime, such as running water lines, construction, catering, etc., the resumption of work is substantially delayed. Such work increases abdominal stress, increases uterus burden and may result in reduced immunity due to overwork. It is recommended that at least three to four weeks of rest and rest, some of the women with slow physical recovery may be extended to more than one month, on the recommendation of a doctor, to ensure that they are fully recovered and then put to work。
In any case, the resumption of work after an abortion requires “individualized judgment” and the core is not to be tough enough to give the body enough recovery time. Early resumption of work may leave after-effects such as acidic acids and muscularity, which may affect long-term health and work. Remember that recovery is always first and that reasonable rest and recuperation is not a delay in work, but a better return to life。
