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 am pregnant. However, I don't want this child. I am planning to have an abortion. What should I pay attention to after taking the abortion pill?Doctor's answer:
If the number of days since conception is within 49 days, it is best not to take abortion medication to avoid potential life-threatening risks. One hour of fasting should be observed before and after taking the medication, using lukewarm water. The pills should be taken separately and not with other medications. Before taking the medication, an ultrasound examination should be performed to confirm whether it is an ectopic pregnancy. If it is ectopic pregnancy, abortion medication should never be taken. Afterward, it is essential to pay attention to the digestion of nutrients and maintain daily routines. A high-protein diet, such as eggs, milk, chicken, and fish, should be consumed, along with vegetables and fruits. The external genital area must always be kept clean and hygienic, and avoid washing hair or taking baths with cold water. Since post-abortion is similar to postpartum, the immune system is weakened, making it easier to catch colds and develop joint and muscle pain.
