Patient's question:
Patient Age: I had medication abortion two weeks ago. A careful examination one week later showed decidua and an endometrial thickness of 0.7 cm. A second careful examination two weeks later showed decidua and an endometrial thickness of 1.7 cm. The doctor recommended a D&C, which I then underwent.Previous Treatment and Effect: A careful examination one week later showed decidua and an endometrial thickness of 0.7 cm. During this period, I took Yi Mu Wan. A second careful examination two weeks later showed decidua and an endometrial thickness of 1.7 cm. The doctor recommended a D&C, which I then underwent.
Type of Assistance Needed: After the D&C, how long is it normal to bleed? I still need to go to work and would like to know how long I should rest at home. Should I still be as careful with diet and daily routines as I was during the medication abortion? Suggest assistance!

Some women may experience slight vaginal bleeding after the D&C, while others may wait a few days before bleeding occurs, usually around one week. After the D&C, it is mainly forbidden to take a bath for one week. Appropriate use of anti-inflammatory medication is recommended.

It is absolutely forbidden to eat spicy food. It is absolutely forbidden to engage in strenuous exercise, and sexual intercourse is strictly forbidden for one month.
