Patient's question:
I hadn't washed my hair for two days before the abortion, and I rested for another day after it. I haven't washed my hair for almost four or five days now, and my hair is oily and messy. It makes me feel so painful. I really want to wash my hair. How long after the abortion can I wash my hair?Doctor's answer:
After a woman undergoes an abortion procedure, the best time to wash her hair is 5 to 7 days post-operation. This is because the body is relatively weak after the surgery. If she washes her hair too soon, it may lead to a series of consequences such as catching a cold or wind invasion. Additionally, it may leave behind postoperative symptoms like migraines. Therefore, it is not advisable to wash her hair too early. Moreover, when washing her hair, she must use hot water and should not use cold water.
