Patient's question:
I just had a medication abortion last weekend and have been resting at home this week. It's quite boring being alone at home every day. The past few days, I've been controlling myself quite well, avoiding spicy and cold foods. It's the fourth day now, and I really want to eat fruits and drink milk tea. I also want to take a hot shower properly. Will this cause any problems?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, after medication-induced abortion, it is still necessary to rest more. Closely monitor the data of vaginal bleeding. Usually, spotting will stop within about a week. If there is abnormal heavy vaginal bleeding, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly for a follow-up to determine the possibility of residual embryonic tissue in the uterine cavity. Under normal circumstances, it is possible to take a bath, but it is recommended to shower and clean instead of soaking in a tub to avoid pelvic infection.
