Patient's question:
A close friend had an abortion with medication. She said she was worried about post-abortion complications and bacterial infections. What are the symptoms of uterine infection after medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to help you. If there is an infection during medication abortion, it may cause lower abdominal pain and a large amount of smelly discharge. Medication abortion and D&C are both sterile procedures. If you have a follow-up at a public hospital, it is highly unlikely to contract an infection. You must strictly avoid sexual activity within one month of medication abortion and avoid heavy physical labor for two weeks. It's important to maintain clean external genitalia and change underwear frequently.
