What are the follow-up checks after medication abortion?

Patient's question:

I want the doctor to take a look at my post-abortion follow-up. I don't know what's going on, and I haven't been feeling well these past few days. But last night, the pain was severe, so I had a thorough examination. What should I do? Please help me find the answer!

Doctor's answer:

Severe abdominal pain after medication abortion may be caused by uterine contractions. This is normal. You can drink some brown sugar water or use a hot water bag for relief. If the pain is severe, you can take pain relievers to alleviate it.
After medication abortion, rest is important. Avoid sexual activity within two weeks. Do not eat spicy, stimulating, or cold foods. Maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the external genital area. Take antibiotics to prevent infection. Eat more protein and vitamin-rich foods to help your body recover completely.
