Patient's question:
Recently, I found out that I was pregnant. Then, I didn't want to have a child right now because my career is just starting, and I didn't want to give it up. So, I made a choice to have an abortion. But I still have some doubts about what happens after an abortion. So, I want to ask if having an abortion can cause the uterus to be retroverted?Doctor's answer:
After a woman undergoes an induced abortion, it is generally better to take a nap in a side-lying position. If she remains in a supine position for a long time, there is a possibility of developing retroverted uterus, so it is essential to pay special attention. Generally, a woman's body is very weak after an induced abortion and requires a large amount of nutritional supplementation. However, spicy and irritating foods should be avoided, and rest should be paid attention to as well. Bending over for work should be avoided to prevent staying up late.
