Patient's question:
I am 25 years old. Previously, I had sex without protection, which led to pregnancy and a miscarriage. Now I have stomach pain and am not recovering well. Yesterday, I had sex again and am afraid of getting pregnant again. What should I pay attention to after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After a miscarriage, pay close attention to rest, avoid overexertion, and avoid extremely cold or spicy foods. Prevent getting colds or catching a chill. Try not to eat cold foods or drink cold water for now. Eat some nutritious foods, and avoid sexual activity for a month. Pay attention to abdominal pain and bleeding. If the bleeding exceeds your menstrual flow or you experience severe abdominal pain, go to the hospital for a check-up early. After 10 days or two weeks, the hospital may recommend taking medication for a few days. There are medications that can help tighten the uterus and may also prevent infections. We generally advise at least one week of rest. If you cannot make up for the missed time, pay close attention to avoid fatigue and getting colds. Maintain a regular schedule, keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water to ensure the condition does not recur.
