Patient's question:
Please ask which aspects need attention after an induced abortion, such as diet, lifestyle, etc.Can you brush your teeth, wash your face, and wash your hands with cold water? Can you go out?
Doctor's answer:
Hello:Post-abortion Precautions:
1. Maintain a regular lifestyle: Even if the abortion procedure is successful, irregular post-surgery life can worsen bleeding or leave behind sequelae. You can rest at the hospital for one day after the surgery or return home. In the following days, continue to receive observation and treatment at the hospital and ensure adequate rest.
2. Clothing should be loose; avoid tight-fitting attire.
3. Do not drink alcohol during this period, and do not bathe without medical permission, as bathing may sometimes lead to infection.
4. Sexual activity should only be resumed after bleeding has completely stopped 10 days to 2 weeks post-surgery.
5. To ensure maternal health, do not conceive immediately after surgery, as the uterus may be damaged during the procedure, making pregnancy at this time very dangerous. Safe contraceptive measures must be taken for this reason.
6. If medication-induced abortion is used, medical observation is necessary to monitor whether the medication is effective and whether the abortion is complete.
7. From the second day after surgery, avoid overexertion and strenuous exercise.
Pay attention to these points, and they generally will not lead to infertility or sequelae. Abortion should be avoided unless absolutely necessary, as medical evidence shows that the risk of infertility and sequelae increases with the number of abortions.
