Uterine recovery after induced labor is an important process. Below are some recommendations to aid in the recovery of the uterus:
1. Get sufficient rest: Ensure adequate rest after the procedure, avoid strenuous activities, and remain bedridden for at least the first few days.
2. Attend regular follow-up appointments: Follow your doctor's instructions for check-ups to monitor whether the uterus has returned to its normal size and shape.
3. Monitor bleeding: Observe the amount of vaginal bleeding. Seek medical attention promptly if the bleeding is excessive or lasts for an unusually long time.
4. Keep warm: Avoid catching a chill, especially in the waist and abdominal areas. Staying warm helps improve blood circulation and promotes uterine contraction.
5. Maintain a balanced diet: Ensure a nutritionally balanced diet with plenty of protein and iron-rich foods to support body recovery and prevent anemia.
6. Avoid sexual intercourse and tub bathing: Refrain from sexual activity and tub bathing for six weeks after induced labor to prevent infection.
If you experience any discomfort or have questions, be sure to contact your doctor promptly.
