Patient's question:
I just had an abortion two days ago. The past two days, I have been getting anti-inflammatory injections at the children's hospital near my home. I feel that the bleeding isn't too heavy, but I do have some abdominal pain, a dull ache. I'm worried about potential aftereffects. What should I pay attention to when having a miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
After the procedure, rest for 3-5 days, relax, prevent fatigue, and pay attention to keeping warm. Avoid heavy physical labor. Eat nutrient-rich foods to help your body recover as soon as possible. During the period of incomplete bleeding, avoid extremely cold, spicy, and irritating foods, as well as blood-activating foods like sweet wine with eggs. Always maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the external genital area. Wash with warm water 1-2 times a day and change underwear frequently. Do not take a bath until the vaginal bleeding has stopped. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited for one month to prevent infections of the reproductive organs. If you experience fever, abdominal pain, or abnormal odors in vaginal discharge, seek follow-up treatment promptly. After an artificial abortion, use contraception immediately after resuming sexual activity, as the menopausal function has already returned, to prevent an accidental pregnancy.
