Patient's question:
My girlfriend unexpectedly got pregnant, and I'm preparing to accompany her to get an abortion tomorrow. We're still young, and our careers aren't stable yet. We're renting a house right now, and we can't have a child living in such a place. So, we'll have to give up. I want to know how to take care of her after the abortion?Doctor's answer:
After an induced abortion, it is indeed necessary to pay attention to proper care. Otherwise, it may easily affect future fertility. For example, after an induced abortion, you can drink some Motherwort granules, take some cephalosporin antibiotics to prevent infection, and also take some estrogen and progesterone hormones. This can help avoid uterine adhesion. Currently, most hospitals routinely prescribe a number of hormone drugs after an induced abortion. Generally, they are taken orally for 21 consecutive days, and after stopping the medication, withdrawal bleeding will typically occur again within a week.
