Patient's question:
Friend had a medication abortion today and is wondering what precautions are needed. Can the external genitalia be washed after the medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
Hello! According to the situation you described, there are several important precautions to follow after taking medication for an abortion. You should maintain good hygiene in the vaginal area, rinse it with warm water every night, and strictly avoid vaginal douching and sexual activity. Also, avoid using tub baths to prevent infection. Rest properly to prevent overexertion. Maintain a balanced diet with adequate nutrition that is easier to digest and absorb. Avoid extremely cold, cold, spicy, and irritating foods. If the bleeding does not stop within a week of the skin breaking, you should go to the hospital for a check-up.
