Patient's question:
My friend recently discovered that she was unexpectedly pregnant, as she couldn't marry her boyfriend in the past two years. So, she had to have an abortion. Currently, my friend is at work and it's difficult to take time off. I'm wondering how many days of rest are appropriate after an abortion. How long should one rest after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, rest for half a month as prescribed. During the rest period, avoid heavy physical labor. Absolutely no squatting for training, no overtime work, no crying, no contact with cold water, and avoid strong wind exposure. Enhance nutritional intake, eat more protein-rich and high-vitamin foods, and also consume more vegetables and fruits. Do not skip meals or be picky about food to promote physical recovery. For future sexual activity, always use contraception.
