Patient's question:
I unexpectedly got pregnant, but I'm not ready for a baby right now. I want to get an abortion at the hospital, but I don't want my in-laws to find out I'm pregnant. I'd like to understand first how long I need to rest after an abortion under anesthesia. Could you ask the doctor how long I need to rest after getting an abortion at the hospital? Besides dietary considerations, what else should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
After an induced abortion, women should rest in bed for 2-3 days before getting out of bed to exercise, gradually increasing the duration of exercise. Within the first half month after the procedure, avoid heavy physical labor and cold water work to prevent catching a cold. Pay attention to enhancing nutrition to reduce the body's resistance to diseases.Rest and dietary considerations after an induced abortion: Avoid extremely cold and spicy foods, and do not consume beer. Focus on a nutritious diet, primarily consisting of protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and soy products, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins.
