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

Patient's question:

I got pregnant unexpectedly. The doctor said the baby is not big and medication abortion is possible. How many days of rest are usually required after medication abortion?

Doctor's answer:

After a medication-induced abortion, you can rest at home for about a week. After that, if the training is not too strenuous, you can return to work. However, it is important to pay attention—avoid getting cold and not overexerting yourself. Additionally, you should not lift heavy objects. The success rate of medication-induced abortion is not 100%, so even after a week, you should carefully monitor the bleeding from your vagina. Regulate your physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial infections due to weakened immunity.
