Patient's question:
Daobao is 5 years old, and now I have unexpectedly become pregnant with a second child. However, due to the pressures of work, survival, and family, I have had to decide to terminate this child. I have already booked an abortion for next Monday. I don’t know what I need to pay attention to after undergoing an abortion without anesthesia. Is it the same as postpartum care, where I need to rest and avoid spicy and cold foods?Doctor's answer:
Abortion without pain is performed under intravenous regional anesthesia. The surgery takes approximately several minutes. Three days before the surgery, avoid sexual activity. If you have vaginitis, postpone the surgery. After the surgery, pay attention to a high-quality protein diet, maintain clean and dry external genitalia to prevent infection, and avoid sexual activity for one month post-surgery. Avoid extremely cold and spicy foods. Light physical exercise is recommended. There is no need to stay in bed for rest.
