Patient's question:
Hello: How long does it take to have an abortion, what precautions are needed after the procedure, and how long should one rest for physical recovery? What are the potential harms of an abortion on the body, and will it affect future fertility?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the procedure for an abortion takes only a few minutes. After undergoing an abortion, you should rest and take care to avoid cold exposure. For one month, sexual activity is strictly prohibited, and tub baths are also forbidden. You need to rest in bed for two weeks. An abortion may lead to menstrual irregularities, and it may take more than three months for your menstrual cycle to return to normal. If you take good care of yourself during recovery, it will have no impact on future fertility. Additionally, patients should develop a regular sleep schedule and adhere to treatment.
