What are the precautions before and after an abortion?

Patient's question:

When I was in the room with my husband, I didn't take necessary precautions. My husband didn't wear a condom, and we had sex directly. Now, after a thorough check, I found out I'm pregnant. We both don't want a child, so we're planning to have a painless abortion. What are the precautions before and after a painless abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Preoperative fasting and hydration are required for painless abortion to prevent nausea, vomiting, and aspiration caused by anesthesia. It is important to relax and not be overly anxious before the surgery. The painless abortion procedure is quick and over before you know it. After the surgery, it is essential to rest and avoid overexertion, while also increasing nutrition and consuming more high-protein foods. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited for one month to prevent reinfection. Maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia at all times. If you experience heavy vaginal bleeding, severe abdominal pain, or other discomforts, seek medical attention promptly.
