Patient's question:
I had a vaginal bleeding and underwent a D&C. What should I pay attention to? Do I need to rest? Can my husband and I sleep in the same bed?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal bleeding underwent a D&C procedure, postoperative rest and nutrition enhancement should be noted. After the D&C procedure, bed rest for 2-3 days is recommended, followed by getting out of bed and gradually increasing exercise duration. Avoid heavy physical labor within the first half month after the D&C to prevent contact with cold water. The uterus needs approximately one month to heal after the D&C. Therefore, it is important to enhance nutrition, consume sufficient protein, strengthen the body's resistance to disease, and promote the early repair of the injured organs.It is recommended to pay special attention to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia. Avoid tub baths within the first half month after the procedure to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina, which may lead to bacterial overgrowth and infection.
