Patient's question:
I didn't have a complete miscarriage, so I went for a D&C today. I wanted to ask you, how long is the recommended rest period after an abortion followed by a D&C?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after undergoing a D&C procedure, you should rest for at least half a month. A D&C after a miscarriage can cause certain harm to the body, especially right after the procedure when the body is very weak. It is important to rest as much as possible and increase your nutrition to help your body recover quickly. A light diet should be followed after the D&C, and you should drink nutrient-rich soups. Intercourse should not occur within the first month after the surgery.
