Patient's question:
I am 31 years old and had an abortion. I don't feel much anymore, and there are no secretions either. My periods were quite regular before. I would like to ask the doctor, how long should I stay in bed after an abortion? Is it one week or half a month?Doctor's answer:
After the operation, patients should rest for two weeks. Intense physical labor is not suitable. During the first two weeks after the operation, bathing in a bathtub is not allowed. After the operation, the body's resistance will increase, so it is important to pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the vulva to prevent recurrence. Breastfeeding should be avoided for six months after the operation to allow the uterus to recover well. A follow-up check-up should be scheduled one week after the operation to assess the recovery of the uterus. Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
