How many days do you need to stay in the hospital after an abortion?

Patient's question:

Hello sister, you have been pregnant for more than a month and have noticed that the baby's growth and development are not normal. It is not possible to carry the pregnancy to term. You need to have an abortion. I would like to ask how many days of hospitalization are required after an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

After an abortion, rest for two days. It is not advisable to engage in strenuous physical activities or heavy mental labor. Pay attention to local hygiene to prevent recurrence of infection. Generally, there is no need for hospitalization after an abortion, but if it is necessary, it is usually for 2 to 3 days. Most hospitals perform abortions on an outpatient basis. If close observation is required, hospitalization may last up to 2 to 3 days. After an abortion, it is recommended to rest in bed for 3 to 7 days. For the first month after an abortion, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited.
