Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery half a month ago. After the surgery, I didn't rest often. Now these past few days, I've noticed that sometimes there's yellow discharge from my vagina. I want to know why there might be yellow discharge after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, women who have undergone an abortion should rest more and take it easy, similar to sitting out a small postpartum period. If you don't rest properly and frequently walk or eat indiscriminately, it may also lead to complications. After an abortion, it is recommended to have a gynecological examination, including a detailed abdominal ultrasound, and a routine vaginal discharge test to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. It is also important to maintain clean and hygienic external genitalia.
