Patient's question:
Female, 26 years old, recently discovered some problems during a check-up. She cannot have children anymore and wants to have an abortion. She wants to ask, what should she do after the abortion surgery done four months ago?Doctor's answer:
After your abortion surgery, on the fourth day, overexertion is not recommended. Rest is important, and most cases will not lead to chronic issues. Typically, you would take a half-month leave, but it's crucial to avoid overexertion and not engage in sexual activity too early. Strictly avoid sexual activity and tub baths for one month. Overexertion can cause joint pain. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular sleep schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
