How many days can one get out of bed after an eight-month abortion?

Patient's question:

Relative is pregnant for eight months and needs to stay in the hospital to protect the fetus. A few days ago, she said she wants to have an abortion. Generally speaking, how many days does it take to get out of bed after an abortion at eight months?

Doctor's answer:

After an abortion, you can usually get up and move around about 24 hours later. Early movement after getting up can promote the complete recovery of the uterus and help blood clots in the uterine cavity to be expelled. If you stay in bed for too long, it may facilitate the expulsion of blood clots in the uterine cavity, but it may also lead to deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs. Recovery after an abortion is generally faster than after a cesarean section. Regulating physical and mental health, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity are important.
