Patient's question:
On the 14th of January, I had an abortion. During that period, I took anti-inflammatory medication for seven days, and I am still taking Esmya. I haven't had any sexual activity. Recently, I've been experiencing lower back pain and continuous brown discharge. During the abortion, the doctor mentioned that my uterus didn't contract well. Should I take any medication?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your situation, if the brown discharge after an abortion is caused by poor uterine contraction, you can take Gongxuening and Baogong Zhixue Granules under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. You should pay attention to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in the perineal area, keep your abdomen warm to avoid catching a cold, and avoid sexual activity for one month after the abortion. Effective contraception is also important.In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any type of abortion can cause certain harm to women. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. For example, during the recovery period, dietary adjustments and maintaining warmth to avoid catching a cold are important aspects of self-care for abortion patients.
