Patient's question:
I not only had a medication abortion but also underwent a D&C procedure. I want to rest for a few more days. How long should I rest after having a medication abortion and a D&C?Doctor's answer:
Medication-induced abortion combined with uterine clearance requires at least two weeks of rest. If you want to fully restore the uterus to its pre-pregnancy state, it will take about a month.During this one-month period, sexual activity should be avoided, and hygiene must be maintained. Pay attention to cleaning, rest, and avoid overexertion. Adequate walking can help expel blood clots from the uterus, but do not overdo it. Regular follow-up check-ups at the hospital are necessary.
