Patient's question:
Is it okay to go for a follow-up check-up 10 days after an abortion without pain? I had this surgery 10 days ago, but I didn't ask carefully about how long I needed to wait for the follow-up, so I'm not sure what the approximate time should be. Besides the follow-up check-up, what should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Generally, a follow-up check is recommended 2 weeks after an abortion without pain. Currently, it's a bit early as it's only 10 days post-surgery. However, if you are only experiencing bleeding, you can have an ultrasound to check the condition inside the uterus, such as whether there are any remnants. After an abortion, it's important to rest, avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods, and maintain a warm and nutritious diet. Pay attention to preventing colds and avoid getting chilled. Always keep the external genital area clean and hygienic. Abstain from sexual intercourse and tub baths for the first month. Wishing you good health!
