Patient's question:
My wife got pregnant unexpectedly, and we were unaware of it at the time. So, we didn't pay much attention to our health during the pregnancy. I even smoked at home every day. There might be some issues with the child, so we decided to have an abortion. But what kind of check-ups does my wife need to do before having an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Before an abortion, you need to go to the hospital for an ultrasound to confirm an intrauterine pregnancy. Routine and thorough examinations such as an electrocardiogram, liver function tests, blood tests, and leukorrhea tests are required. Only if all these tests are normal can the abortion procedure be performed. After the abortion, you should rest in bed for 2 days. For 2 weeks, avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor. Do not eat spicy, irritating, or cold foods. Your diet should be warm, nutritious, and easy to digest. Pay attention to preventing colds and avoid contact with cold water. Always maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia. Abstinence from sexual intercourse and tub baths is strictly prohibited for one month. Wishing you good health!
