How long is the rest period required after an abortion?

Patient's question:

I and my husband are very busy with training, and now we don't want children. However, I got pregnant this month. I want to have an abortion. How long do I need to rest after an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

In general, in cases of unintended pregnancy, it is still possible to opt for an abortion. However, it is recommended to rest for one week after the abortion procedure, but it is advisable to avoid sexual activity within four weeks. Be cautious not to engage in strenuous exercise or similar activities. Abortion has a significant impact on a woman's health, so it is important to pay attention to infection prevention and recovery after the procedure. In the future, contraceptive measures should still be taken during sexual activity. Avoid overworking. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
