Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. A few days ago, I suddenly found out that I was pregnant, but considering my age and that my physical condition can't keep up, and since the child is already grown up, there's really no need for me to conceive a second child. After discussing it with my husband, I had an abortion. How should I rest after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
During an abortion, it is generally recommended to rest for two weeks. After two weeks, a follow-up pelvic ultrasound is required to check for any residual tissue in the uterus. During the rest period, avoid going to work or working overtime. Gentle walking and (strolling) can help the uterus contract. Avoid cold and raw foods, and drink more hot water. Follow your doctor's advice to take medication that promotes uterine contraction. Pay attention to keeping the external genitalia clean, as it is easy to get infections during the bleeding period.
