Patient's question:
A friend's sister got pregnant unexpectedly. Two days ago, she had an abortion, but there was a lot of bleeding during the procedure. What should she do? Is this normal? After the abortion, her face is very pale and she feels very weak. Will this affect her health? How should she take care of herself for recovery?Doctor's answer:
Weakness in general is related to induced abortion surgery. Excessive bleeding after an induced abortion will definitely lead to anemia, and changes in various bodily functions. Currently, pale and weak complexion is a normal manifestation. A follow-up ultrasound should be conducted one week after the induced abortion to check the gradual recovery of the uterus. If the recovery is good, then it is recommended to consume foods that replenish qi and iron to nourish and correct the condition. In the future, avoid the habit of induced abortion and use condoms for contraception if you do not want children.
