Patient's question:
Hello, I just graduated and haven't been working for long, but I found out I'm pregnant just a couple of days ago. I haven't stabilized my job yet, so I was thinking of having an abortion first. But I don't know how to take care of myself later on, as it's like having a small postpartum period. How long after an abortion can I wash my hair?Doctor's answer:
First, after a miscarriage, the body is delicate and needs proper digestion, nutrition, and rest. Breastfeeding is also necessary to help regulate the uterus and restore its normal function. During the recovery period, it is important to avoid cold exposure and not consume foods that are considered cooling. Additionally, one should not catch a cold or wind.Generally, it is recommended to start washing hair three days after an induced abortion. However, it is important to tie up the hair immediately after washing to prevent it from drying naturally, as this could lead to catching a cold or feeling cold. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid soaking in baths and opt for showers instead.
