How long after medication abortion can I take a shower?

Patient's question:

Today I just finished taking the medication for a medical abortion. I don't know if taking a bath at night will have any effect on my body. How long after a medical abortion can I take a bath?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help you with your question. After a miscarriage, I usually experience a recurrence of lochia. Additionally, miscarriage can lead to a weakened constitution, requiring 2 to 3 weeks of rest to return to normal life. However, for personal hygiene, you can try taking a bath to assess your recovery of physical strength. After three days, you can consider switching to a warm shower. It is not advisable to take a tub bath or a cold shower.
