Having an abortion is dangerous, and the risk increases with the gestational age. It can very likely lead to menstrual disorders after an abortion, and in severe cases, it may result in infertility. It is strongly recommended that you choose a regular hospital for treatment. Post-surgery, it is important to enhance care, maintain personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, clean the vaginal area with warm water, rest, and avoid overexertion. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at a reputable Grade-A hospital as soon as possible based on their specific condition to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep the environment well-ventilated, eat light and soft foods, and drink plenty of warm water daily.
