Patient's question:
A while ago, I had a procedure done. The doctor said I need to pay more attention. It's been a week since the surgery. How long should one rest after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion surgery, it is necessary to rest for about a week. Generally, it takes about a week to fully recover, and if possible, another week of rest makes a total of two weeks, which is relatively ideal. The exception is that a follow-up ultrasound of the uterine appendages is required one month after the surgery, and sexual activity should be avoided for three months. After that, it is recommended to use condoms for contraception, which is relatively safer.
