Patient's question:
Two months ago, I had sex with my boyfriend. Later, during sex with my boyfriend, the condom broke, which resulted in an unintended pregnancy. Last week, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and underwent an abortion surgery to terminate the pregnancy. I would like to know how long after the abortion it is necessary to have a follow-up check-up for this condition.Doctor's answer:
You had a thorough examination and underwent an abortion surgery last week. In general, after an abortion, it is recommended to come back for a follow-up check-up about a month later, which is around 30 days. Sometimes, if your menstrual period starts before 30 days have passed, you can also have a thorough examination after your period. In your case, it is important to rest and recover well, and avoid excessive fatigue. You should not eat spicy or irritating foods. Before the thorough examination, it is advised to avoid sexual intercourse.
