How long should you rest after an abortion?

Patient's question:

I suddenly realized I had unexpectedly become pregnant. At that time, my period was delayed by 15 days. Later, I found a private hospital and had a painless abortion. Now, it's the fourth day after the abortion, and I don't feel any discomfort. I'd like to ask how long I need to rest after an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

After an abortion, it is usually recommended to rest for about half a month. During this period, avoid sexual activity, and do not consume extremely cold, spicy, greasy, or overly stimulating foods. Focus on easily digestible soft foods, eat small meals frequently, chew slowly, and avoid overeating. Do not overwork or strain yourself, and avoid standing or sitting for long periods to ensure the body's complete recovery.
