Patient's question:
This month, my period was delayed by many days, and later I found out I was pregnant. However, since I'm not married, I don't plan to keep the child. I'm planning to go to the hospital tomorrow for an abortion. I heard that after the abortion, I need to take anti-inflammatory medication. How long do you think I need to take the medication after the abortion?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, it is generally recommended to take motherwort and anti-inflammatory medication for about a week. After the procedure, carefully monitor the amount and duration of bleeding. It is strictly prohibited to take a bath or have sexual intercourse for two weeks and one month, respectively, otherwise it may lead to intrauterine infection and affect future fertility. It is normal not to have a menstrual period after an abortion. Usually, menstruation resumes about a month after the procedure. Even if menstruation does not return, it is important to continue using contraception to prevent pregnancy. Carefully observe the bleeding duration.
