How many days of rest after an abortion can one return to work?

Patient's question:

I recently got pregnant, but I'm planning to have an abortion with anesthesia. How many days of rest are needed after the procedure before I can go back to work?

Doctor's answer:

After an abortion without pain, it is generally recommended to rest in bed for three days. It is best to avoid physical labor for a week and engage in light indoor activities. After one week, you can return to work, but avoid overexertion. After a miscarriage, do not have sexual intercourse for the first month to prevent infection. Your diet should be light, avoiding extremely cold and spicy foods. You can consume a small amount of fruit. It is recommended to seek treatment at a local reputable hospital. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
