Patient's question:
If you are pregnant and do not plan to have an abortion, what is the total cost for everything? What do you need to do later?Doctor's answer:
Here is the English translation of the provided content, with line breaks preserved as instructed:---
I. Rest well and enhance nutrition. After an induced abortion, patients should rest in bed for 2-3 days. Afterward, they can start getting out of bed for activities, gradually increasing the duration of activity. Within the first half month after the procedure, avoid heavy physical labor and contact with cold water. The uterus needs about a month to recover. Therefore, it is important to increase nutrition, consume sufficient protein to strengthen the body's resistance to diseases, and promote the early repair of injured organs. After the procedure, eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and soy products, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins, to speed up recovery.
II. Maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia, and avoid sexual intercourse. After an induced abortion, the cervix has not yet closed, and the endometrium also has a healing process. During this time, pay special attention to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia. Avoid tub baths within the first half month after the procedure to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina, which could lead to bacterial infection. Avoid sexual intercourse within the first month after the procedure.
III. Observe bleeding conditions and prevent the condition from worsening. If vaginal bleeding persists for more than one week after the procedure, accompanied by lower abdominal pain, fever, or cloudy, foul-smelling discharge, seek medical review and treatment promptly.
IV. Pay attention to contraception to avoid pregnancy again. After an induced abortion, ovarian and uterine functions gradually return to normal, and the ovaries resume regular ovulation. If contraception is not consistently practiced, pregnancy may occur again soon. Some women become pregnant in the same month they have an induced abortion, which has a greater impact on their health.
