Why does the external genital area itch for two days after a painless abortion?

Patient's question:

Hello, my boyfriend and I are not ready to get married right now. We plan to consider marriage and having children only after our training stabilizes. This unexpected pregnancy was not planned, and I had an abortion. Two days after the procedure, I have noticed itching in my external genital area. Is it contagious?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginal itching may be caused by an infectious inflammation. Gynecological procedures, such as intrauterine surgery, may trigger infectious inflammation. Since you had an abortion one month ago, treatment is not possible at the moment. It is recommended that you use Honghe Cleanser to rinse the vaginal area for temporary symptom relief. You should seek active treatment after one month post-abortion. You can visit the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test to confirm the type of infection before formulating a treatment plan.
During treatment, patients should maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, engage in regular physical exercise, and take care of their physical and mental health. It is also important to maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
