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 is yellow discharge from my vagina. I want to know why there is 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 confinement period. If you don't rest properly, frequent walking or eating recklessly 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. Additionally, it is important to maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia.
