Patient's question:
I got pregnant unexpectedly while staying in the same room with my boyfriend and had a medication abortion. Now I had a D&C (dilation and curettage). How many days does it take for the cervix to heal after the medication abortion and D&C?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, after medication-induced abortion or uterine evacuation, there is about a week of bleeding. However, this varies from person to person, and the exact duration is uncertain. However, it is important to note that if bleeding persists for less than ten days, you should go to the hospital for an ultrasound re-examination to check for incomplete evacuation or infection. During recovery, you should pay attention to getting plenty of rest, improving nutrition, maintaining local hygiene to prevent infection, and under the guidance of a doctor, you can take some blood-activating and blood-stimulating medications appropriately. For the first month, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited.
