Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, I went to Beijing Friendship Hospital with my partner last week to have an abortion surgery. After the surgery, the nurse moved her to a bed in the general ward. However, due to the shortage of beds or some other reasons, the nurse did not change the sheets or bedding. Since she had just finished the surgery and was still bleeding, I am asking if there is a risk of infection. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
After going home, it is best to rest in bed for the first 3-4 days. Within two weeks after the procedure, avoid heavy physical labor or strenuous sports. If work or study conditions do not allow for several days of rest, it is essential to ensure sufficient sleep every day. In fact, under normal circumstances, any type of abortion procedure can cause certain harm to a woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. Abortion patients should pay attention to self-care, such as keeping warm and avoiding contact with cold water.
