Patient's question:
The other day, I just had an abortion with anesthesia, but I didn't get IV drips at the hospital and didn't take any medication. My body is doing well, except for a little bleeding. Before the abortion, I had four treatments for vaginitis. There are no other special circumstances. What kind of help I need: I didn't get IV drips after the abortion. Do I need to take any medication? What are the precautions?Doctor's answer:
Hello, within 2 weeks after surgery, rest and avoid heavy physical labor; eat more nutritious foods to help your body recover quickly, and avoid extremely cold or spicy foods; maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the external genital area, wash with warm water 1-2 times a day, and change sanitary pads frequently; do not take a bath during the first 2 weeks or until vaginal bleeding stops; avoid sexual activity for 1 month to prevent infections of the reproductive organs; vaginal bleeding usually gradually stops within 3-5 days, and should not exceed 10-15 days in total; after painless artificial abortion, use contraception measures as soon as sexual activity resumes to prevent pregnancy again.
