Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I'm two months pregnant, but I and my husband have thought about it for a long time and feel that having a child now is too early, so we've decided to go to the hospital for an abortion. It can be done tomorrow. Do you need to rest in bed after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After an induced abortion, one needs to have a postpartum recovery period. A short postpartum recovery period is sufficient. During this period, avoid getting cold and do not touch cold water, do not wash your hair or take a bath with cold water, to prevent any aftereffects. Avoid sexual intercourse for the first month after a miscarriage to prevent infections. During the postpartum recovery period, avoid heavy physical labor and should eat soft, easily digestible foods. Do not eat spicy, extremely cold, or other stimulating foods.
