What should a woman do if her skin peels off on the third day after an abortion with anesthesia?

Patient's question:

Female, 26 years old, have you had skin peeling again three days after an abortion under anesthesia? Is this normal peeling or menstrual bleeding? Abdominal pain is accompanied by lower back pain. Back pain only occurs when not lying down, and there is a sensation of heaviness in the abdomen.

Doctor's answer:

After an abortion procedure, it's normal to occasionally have some minor skin irritation. If the irritation is not severe, you can first wait and see, pay attention to personal hygiene, and wear breathable underwear. If you're still concerned, it's recommended that you visit a hospital for an ultrasound examination to check the condition of the endometrium. Post-surgery, you need to take anti-inflammatory medication for 3 to 5 days. A follow-up ultrasound is recommended 7 to 10 days later. Abstaining from sexual activity and taking a bath for half a month will yield better results.
