What should be paid attention to after artificial abortion?

Patient's question:

I have been trying to conceive for a year and recently finally got pregnant. However, during my first prenatal check-up, it was found that the baby was abnormal. The doctor recommended that I have an abortion. I mainly want to consult what to pay attention to after an abortion? How long should I wait before trying to conceive again after an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

After an abortion, it is important to rest. It is best to stay at home and rest for about half a month. Pay attention to enhancing nutrition and eat more foods that boost qi. After the surgery, pay attention to preventing postoperative infections. You can take a few days of anti-inflammatory medication to prevent infections. Also, avoid sexual activity for the first month.
It is recommended to wait at least one year after an abortion before trying to conceive, allowing the body to fully and thoroughly recover. Before trying to conceive, it is advisable to undergo preconception testing.
