Patient's question:
After the crowd passes, how many days of rest is appropriate? Is it the same as the postpartum period after giving birth, where you cannot touch cold water or blow cold air?Doctor's answer:
Postoperative dietary and physical/spiritual care:1) After artificial abortion, there should be a 2-week rest period, and reading newspapers or watching TV should be minimized.
2) Within the first 2 weeks postoperatively, appropriate bed rest is recommended, avoiding heavy physical labor.
3) Consume nutrient-rich foods to help the body recover as quickly as possible.
4) Maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the external genital area. Wash with warm water 1–2 times daily and change sanitary pads frequently.
5) Avoid sitting baths during the first 2 weeks or until bleeding has completely stopped.
6) Sexual activity is strictly prohibited for the first month to prevent infection. If fever, abdominal pain, or abnormal-smelling discharge occurs, seek follow-up treatment promptly.
7) Generally, bleeding gradually stops within 3–5 days and does not exceed 10–15 days. If the bleeding volume is less than menstrual flow and the duration is prolonged, seek timely follow-up treatment.
