Patient's question:
Because of the immaturity of both my girlfriend and me, a month ago my girlfriend discovered that she was pregnant. Since we really don't have the ability to raise a child right now, my girlfriend went to the hospital to have a medication abortion to terminate the pregnancy. Hello, how many days after medication abortion can one take a bath?Doctor's answer:
After taking medication for an abortion, you can usually take a bath three days later, but it is recommended to shower instead of soaking in a tub. This is because your body is weak and you may have vaginal bleeding after the procedure, which could easily lead to retrograde infection if you soak in water, potentially causing gynecological diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease. The duration of bathing after medication for an abortion should not be too long, and the water temperature should not be too low to avoid catching a cold. After taking medication for an abortion, the first thing to pay attention to is to follow the doctor's advice, get plenty of rest, avoid fatigue and strenuous exercise, and take care to stay warm to avoid catching a cold.
