How many days of rest are generally required after medication abortion?

Patient's question:

Hello, how many days of rest are generally required after medication abortion before resuming sexual activity?

Doctor's answer:

You are advised to rest for about three days after medication abortion, and then you can return to work normally. After medication abortion, it is recommended to go back to the hospital for a check-up to ensure that the uterine cavity is completely empty. If there is any residual tissue, it may interfere with the complete recovery of the uterus. In such cases, medication or a procedure to remove the residual tissue may be necessary. If the uterine cavity is already empty and the uterus has fully recovered, there is no need to worry.
Within one month after medication abortion, it is strictly prohibited to have sexual intercourse or take a bath. Pay close attention to hygiene. Bathe with warm water daily and maintain cleanliness at all times.
