Patient's question:
I am 24 years old. Previously, I had sex without protection, which led to pregnancy and a miscarriage. Now I have abdominal pain and am not recovering well. Yesterday, I had sex again and am afraid of getting pregnant again. Which type of abortion procedure causes less harm?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the best time for painless abortion is between 35-50 days of pregnancy. At this stage, the uterus is not too large, and the fetus and placenta have not yet formed. The procedure is less traumatic, with minimal skin tearing and a quicker recovery, causing less interference to the body. It is advisable to choose a visual painless conservation abortion procedure, which causes less harm to the uterus and does not interfere with future fertility.After an abortion, patients should rest for two weeks and avoid strenuous physical labor. Bathing in a tub should not be done within two weeks after the procedure. As the body's resistance increases post-surgery, it is important to maintain good hygiene of the vulva to prevent reinfection. Patients should develop healthy daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and engage in regular exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
