Most women may experience abdominal pain and mild vaginal bleeding, which usually subsides within about a week. Women should avoid sexual activity and strenuous exercise for at least two months after the procedure.Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive appropriate treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, stay warm, eat light and soft foods, keep the room well-ventilated, and drink plenty of hot water.
