Patient's question:
Usually, I pay great attention to hygiene and wash my hair and take a bath every day. But three days ago, I had an abortion. They told me that after an abortion, it's equivalent to a miscarriage and it's important to keep warm. So I didn't wash my hair or take a bath. Now three days have passed, and I'm in a lot of pain. Could you please advise if it's okay to take a bath and wash my hair on the third day after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Three days after the procedure, you can take a bath and wash your hair, but it is safer to use warm boiled water for rinsing. Be careful not to catch a cold and take preventive measures against a cold. After the procedure, your physical condition is relatively weak, so resting more in bed is safer. It is indeed necessary to take good care of yourself after the procedure, and during these days, you should eat more foods that boost energy and regulate your menstrual cycle. Around the fourth week, check if your period is about to come.
