Patient's question:
Is it harmful to have a uterine clearance after medication abortion? Doctor, how should I protect myself in daily life? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Medical abortion causes relatively minor damage to the uterus, but if it is not clean and requires a uterine clearance, then the damage to the uterus is somewhat significant. This is similar to using medication and undergoing an induced abortion surgery, so the damage is double. In terms of daily diet, it is important not to have sexual activity. If sexual activity is engaged in, it is best to decide on contraception to prevent secondary pregnancy and miscarriage. Then, one month after the abortion, a follow-up ultrasound is recommended. Temporary nutritional encouragement is advised, and plant-based protein should be considered.
