Do you need to use sanitary pads after an abortion?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
After the D&C yesterday (8th), I already have no blood today. Do I still need to use sanitary pads when sleeping at night and during the day? If I don't use them, I'm afraid my pants will get infected. If I do use them, it's hot. How long after the D&C can I wash my private area? What kind of fruits can I eat in the first few days after the D&C?

Doctor's answer:

Normal intrauterine pregnancy within 69 days of amenorrhea, with a gestational sac size of 2.0-3.0 centimeters, can undergo an induced abortion procedure. There will be bleeding after the procedure, which is approximately one week long, not exceeding 10-15 days in total. Sanitary napkins and toilet paper should be prepared. Women should rest after the procedure and avoid heavy physical labor for two weeks. Sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited for one month, and tub baths are also strictly prohibited.
