How to perform a safe and painless abortion at home?
With the development of society, people\’s concept of fertility has gradually changed. In some cases, a woman needs to have an abortion. Traditional surgical abortion has many inconveniences, but painless abortion is not only safe, convenient, but also highly private. If you want to complete painless abortion at home, you need to pay attention to the following points:
1. Confirm pregnancy time
Confirming the time of pregnancy is very important because different methods are used at different times. If the pregnancy is less than 7 weeks (i.e. 49 days), medications (mifepristone and misoprostol) can be used to terminate the pregnancy. If the time is 7-9 weeks (i.e. 49-63 days), you can do it at home even with manual suction. If the pregnancy is more than 9 weeks, you can only go to the hospital for artificial abortion.
1.1 Method to confirm pregnancy time
Confirming the time of pregnancy can be done by taking a self-test pregnancy test paper, going to the hospital for routine examination, or confirming by B-ultrasound. It is recommended to use home B-ultrasound equipment for examination, which can effectively understand the pregnancy time.
1.2 How to perform medical abortion
First of all, you need to go to the hospital for a drug prescription. It is recommended to conduct a pregnancy test and gynecological examination before using the drug. If the doctor thinks that there are conditions suitable for medical abortion, he can prescribe the drug. Generally speaking, medication should be used between the first three days to the seventh day of the menstrual period, and the body\’s reaction should be closely observed at home. Painkillers and health care products need to be prepared. If abnormal symptoms such as fever, heavy bleeding, pain, etc. occur, you should go to the hospital in time.
1.3 How to perform manual suction
Manual suction requires the use of a suction device, and corresponding tools need to be purchased in advance. Before having an abortion, you need to clean your hands and private parts with soap and running water. Then find a comfortable position and sleep on the bed or against a wall. Before miscarriage, you need to take a deep breath and try to relax your body. At this point, manual suction steps are required. If excessive bleeding or unbearable pain occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
2. Pay attention to safety and health
After completing the abortion, you need to pay attention to body hygiene and disinfection. It is recommended that after the endometrium is removed, drink more water and arrange to rest in a warm bath to help relieve muscle pain and uterine contraction pain. During this period, do not perform heavy work or strenuous exercise to avoid injury. Clean and disinfect private parts frequently, and change underwear to keep them dry. If abnormalities such as recurrent infection or bleeding occur after miscarriage, you should seek medical attention promptly.
2.1 Hygiene precautions
It is strongly recommended not to have sex with others within a few days after the abortion to avoid infection; avoid other people using personal items, such as face towels, towels, toothbrushes, etc.; take body temperature measurements regularly, and seek medical attention in time if the body temperature is too high. Hygiene and disinfection are very important. It is recommended that you stay in bed as much as possible after a painless abortion. You can take a hot bath and wash in the bathroom, and change into clean clothes after disinfection.And keep your clothes dry.
2.2 Dietary Precautions
During the post-operative relaxation period of artificial abortion, you need to pay attention to diet and health care, eat light and easy-to-digest food, pay attention to supplementing vitamins and proteins, and drink plenty of water to supplement the physical losses caused by abortion. You should avoid fried, spicy and irritating foods in your diet. Pay attention to a balanced diet and wait for your body to gradually return to normal.

Before abortion, better psychological support can reduce the patient\’s psychological burden. Before having an abortion, you need to consult your doctor to learn more about the treatment options, as well as possible risks and complications. You can keep close people around, such as family and friends, to vent your emotions and relieve stress.
3.1 Psychological counseling
For some patients who do not want to have an abortion at the beginning, it is recommended that they make a decision after consultation and communication. If the patient chooses to have an abortion, someone should be with them to give love and reminders.

3.2 Reactions to watch out for
After a painless abortion, if abnormal reactions such as fever, heavy bleeding, and pain occur, you should seek medical treatment in time to avoid secondary damage to the body due to worsening of the condition. In addition, alcohol, smoking and other harmful substances should not be consumed, and heavy exertion should be avoided during the recovery period to allow the body to gradually recover.
4. Respect your own choices
Before undergoing abortion, some patients may face many life pressures and challenges, such as conflicts caused by finances, personal hobbies, and interpersonal relationships. In this case, we must respect the patient\’s right to choice and freedom of speech, and continuously improve the quality and psychological care level of medical staff so that the cultural and psychological barriers between patients can be bridged and treated.
4.1 Encourage expression
On the issue of abortion, many women suffer criticism and rejection. It is recommended that women express their opinions boldly so that everyone can have more understanding and support. This helps reduce the patient\’s stress and psychological barriers.

After abortion, if the patient feels that he cannot face the pressure from society and family, he can put on his favorite beautiful clothes or go shopping in the market to relieve psychological fatigue and provide emotional support.
