Patient's question:
Do you need to take medicine after an abortion? My friend accidentally got pregnant, and it's already been two months. She doesn't want it and is planning to have an abortion. I want to know how the abortion procedure works? Is it necessary to stay in the hospital after the surgery? Besides, do you need to take medicine after the surgery?Doctor's answer:
An abortion procedure is simple and generally does not require hospitalization. After the procedure, medication is usually necessary. This primarily includes two types: one is anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent uterine infection, and the other is a variety of estrogenic drugs. The main function of these drugs is to promote the fibrosis of the endometrium. Since abortion procedures cause significant damage to the endometrium, these medications help in the complete recovery of the uterus.
