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 are the precautions to take before an abortion?Doctor's answer:
In medicine, the date of conception is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. It usually takes about 42 days to get pregnant. An ultrasound examination can detect the gestational sac, and after confirming an intrauterine pregnancy, one can go to the hospital for an abortion procedure. Nowadays, painless abortion procedures are commonly performed. Patients must fast for at least eight hours before the surgery. Most hospitals require routine vaginal discharge tests and infectious disease screenings.Wishing you good health. During treatment, patients should maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, actively engage in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental well-being. It is also important to maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial infections due to weakened immunity.
