Patient's question:
Got pregnant accidentally while staying in the same room with my boyfriend. Last week, I had an abortion under anesthesia and took a week off from work. However, the doctor said I need to rest for a month, like a "little postpartum period." I want to know how many days of rest are recommended after an abortion under anesthesia?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion without pain, it is recommended to rest for 2 to 4 weeks, depending on your body's condition. Because the body's condition is relatively poor in the short term after abortion, it is necessary to take good care of yourself like a postpartum period. Avoid eating extremely cold foods, and do not have sexual intercourse within 4 weeks. It is recommended to enhance nutrition, pay attention to rest and hydration, and avoid staying up late. Pay attention to actively enhance nutrition and carefully observe whether your appetite is normal.
