Patient's question:
I am 26 years old. The last time I had sex with my boyfriend, we didn't use protection, and now I'm pregnant. But I don't want this child. I'm planning to have an abortion. Could you please tell me what aspects I need to pay attention to after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After the surgery, patients should rest for two weeks. It is not advisable to engage in strenuous physical labor. During the first two weeks after the surgery, bathing in a bathtub is not recommended. After the surgery, the body's resistance will increase, so it is important to maintain good hygiene of the vulva to prevent the recurrence of infection. Breastfeeding should be avoided for six months after the surgery to ensure the uterus has a better and more thorough recovery. A follow-up check-up should be scheduled one week after the surgery to assess the recovery of the uterus. In daily life, patients should maintain a balanced nutritional intake, engage in aerobic exercises to strengthen their bodies, and keep a positive mood to enhance their physical condition and accelerate the recovery process.
