Patient's question:
Hello doctor, two and a half months ago my friend discovered she was pregnant, but she didn't want it. Last month she went to the hospital for an abortion. This month her period has already come. I want to help ask what precautions should be taken during the first period after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
The first menstrual period after childbirth requires special attention to the amount of blood flow. If the menstrual flow is significantly heavier than usual, it is recommended to undergo a follow-up ultrasound examination promptly. If there are remnants in the uterine cavity, it is also abnormal if there was no abdominal pain during previous periods but there is abdominal pain this time. In such cases, a careful ultrasound examination is necessary. During menstruation, personal hygiene must be paid attention to, and the external genitalia should be washed with warm water every night.
