Patient's question:
Issues with medication abortion. The last menstrual period ended on September 25th, and I had sex on October 6th. A few days ago, I tested positive for pregnancy with a pregnancy test kit and want to do a medication abortion. Could you please tell me when it is appropriate to do a medication abortion and what precautions I should take?Doctor's answer:
After medication abortion, it is necessary to come to the hospital for a gynecological ultrasound within 7-10 days to confirm whether the abortion is complete and to assess the recovery of the uterus. Sexual activity is prohibited within the first month after the abortion. Rest in bed for about two weeks, avoid overexertion, pay attention to nutrition intake, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. If you have any other questions, feel free to chat with me in real-time. Pay attention to personal hygiene: After medication abortion, it is important to maintain good personal hygiene to prevent infection. Avoid sexual activity within the first month after medication abortion. Change sanitary pads frequently during the bleeding period, and do not take a bath for the first half month, only take a shower.
