Patient's question:
I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for three years. A year ago, on the night before, we both drank too much. Then, unconsciously, we had sex without proper protection. I unexpectedly got pregnant. A month ago, I had an abortion. It has been more than a month since the abortion, and I still have lower back pain. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
In your case, you have postpartum illness. Most of the time, it is caused by inadequate rest after an abortion surgery and catching a cold. It is recommended to consult a traditional Chinese medicine department for a follow-up visit and take herbal medicine for regulation, which will be more effective. Before your menstrual period returns, it is strictly forbidden to have sexual intercourse. Maintain a light diet, enhance nutrition, get adequate rest, pay attention to preventing colds, avoid getting chilled, and do not eat extremely cold foods or spicy, irritating foods. Regulate your physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
