Patient's question:
I am 26 years old, and I recently found out that I am pregnant, but I don't want a child right now and plan to have a painless abortion. What is the best time to have a painless abortion?Doctor's answer:
After artificial abortion, there needs to be a rest period of 2 weeks, and it is advisable to reduce reading newspapers and watching TV. Within the first 2 weeks after the surgery, proper bed rest should be maintained, and heavy physical labor should be avoided. It is important to consume nutrient-rich foods to help the body recover as quickly as possible. Maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the external genital area, and use warm water to rinse 1-2 times a day. Change sanitary pads and underwear frequently. Do not take baths within the first 2 weeks or until the bleeding has stopped. For one month, sexual activity between couples is strictly prohibited to prevent infection. If there is fever, abdominal pain, or abnormal odor in the discharge, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. Daily routines should include regular sleep patterns, maintaining warmth, consuming light and soft foods, keeping the environment well-ventilated, and drinking plenty of hot water to ensure the condition does not recur.
