Patient's question:
I accidentally got pregnant before, but I didn't want it for now, so I had an abortion. Can I wash my hair after the abortion?Doctor's answer:
After an induced abortion surgery, it is generally not recommended to wash your hair because it can easily lead to many aftereffects. If you really need to wash your hair, patients who have undergone the surgery can wash their hair with warm water on the third day after the surgery. Women are advised to use warm water, with the water temperature not being too low, preferably always maintained at around 37 degrees Celsius. After washing your hair, pay attention to tying it up promptly to prevent the effects of cold water and wind, in order to avoid catching a cold. When washing your hair, do not use overly harsh hair care products. After washing, immediately use a hairdryer to dry your hair. This prevents sudden cold air from attacking the body and causing a cold. In summary, after an induced abortion surgery, washing your hair with warm water in a suitable surrounding temperature is acceptable.
