Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I previously didn't take proper protective measures and accidentally got pregnant. Then I had an abortion. It was done last Friday. I don't know how to take care of myself properly. I was wondering how to take care after the abortion done by the doctor last Friday?Doctor's answer:
After a woman undergoes an induced abortion, it is best to recover like giving birth, which means resting in bed at home for about a month. Those who have the condition can rest for 42 days. Since a woman's body is relatively weak after an induced abortion, and the procedure can cause significant damage to the uterus, it is essential for women to rest in bed at home after the surgery. They should avoid getting cold and pay attention to nutrition intake during this period. Additionally, they should avoid taking baths and prefer showering as much as possible. No sexual activity should occur within the first month.
