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 and plan to have an abortion. What should I pay attention to after taking an abortion pill?Doctor's answer:
Pay close attention to observing your body's condition. Generally, there are many detailed checks to be done before taking medication, and after consumption, it's important to check again to see if everything has been expelled cleanly. Rest is crucial. The rate of miscarriage during medication abortion is relatively low, but it can lead to incomplete miscarriage or excessive bleeding after the procedure. If the medication abortion is incomplete, a D&C (dilation and curettage) surgery may be necessary. Daily routines should include regular sleep patterns, adequate warmth to prevent colds, a diet rich in light, soft, and easily digestible foods, frequent ventilation, and drinking plenty of hot water to ensure the condition does not recur.
