Patient's question:
My friend had an abortion without pain last week, and I want to consult. How long after an abortion can one take a bath? Can one take a shower?Doctor's answer:
Generally, when sexual activity occurs again after pregnancy, the decision to have an abortion through a painless procedure is very common. About a week after the surgery, you can take a bath, of course, a shower is fine, but avoid warm sitz baths. This needs to be understood. Additionally, a follow-up ultrasound of the uterine appendages is required 1 to 2 weeks after the abortion to check the condition. It is best not to get pregnant again within a year, and avoid sexual activity for two months.
