Patient's question:
After her sister had her second child, she didn't pay attention to contraception and ended up getting pregnant unexpectedly. Since she couldn't have another child, she had to have an abortion. She was still recovering from childbirth and now had to undergo another abortion, leaving her in very poor health. Could you please advise on how to recuperate after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion procedure, it is important to rest and avoid overexertion. If there is significant vaginal bleeding, you can take some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing herbs orally, which will help in the expulsion of intrauterine blood clots. In terms of diet, maintain a balanced and varied intake, consuming more fresh fruits and vegetables. Avoid sexual intercourse for the first month. After one week, you should return to the hospital for a follow-up examination to carefully observe whether the pelvic cavity is completely clean.
