What should be paid attention to after an abortion surgery?

Patient's question:

A woman is 32 years old. Three days ago, she had an abortion surgery, but since yesterday, she has started experiencing chest tightness and frequent urination again. Is it possible that the abortion was not completely successful? I would like to know what issues should be paid attention to after an abortion.

Doctor's answer:

Need to pay attention to rest, preferably lying in bed, and avoid overexertion. Additionally, it is strictly prohibited to engage in sexual activity. Avoid extremely cold foods for one month, maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the genital area, and prevent heavy physical labor. Approximately two weeks after the surgery, you can consider having an ultrasound to check the condition of the uterus. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment and recover as soon as possible.
