Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, my girlfriend had an abortion at the hospital. Recently, she wants to take a bath but is worried it might interfere with her recovery. I want to ask the doctor how long after an abortion can one take a bath?Doctor's answer:
The term "" refers to the termination of early pregnancy before the complete development of the embryo, which is not yet fully utilized through methods such as Dilation and Curettage (D&C) or vacuum aspiration. Three days after an abortion, it is advisable to take a hot shower but avoid soaking in a bath. Pay attention to drinking and eating protein-rich foods to enhance the body's immune system, which can promote the repair of injured organs. Women with irregular periods should avoid foods to prevent irritation of the organs and increased menstrual flow. Additionally, avoid cold foods such as crabs, snails, and river clams.
