How to take care of yourself after an abortion without pain

Patient's question:

I had a painless abortion on February 1st. Two days after the abortion, I stopped bleeding. After the procedure, I had some abdominal pain, but it later subsided. However, 2-3 days later, I occasionally felt a bit of pain, but it didn't seem to be a big issue. In the following days, I experienced mild bleeding symptoms.
Because I spent the Chinese New Year with my husband, we had 2-3 instances of non-penetrative sexual activity during that time. Afterward, I felt some discomfort because a little bit of blood was discharged.
From February 13th to February 14th, there was a significant amount of brownish liquid and blood clots discharged. On the 13th, it was brown, and on the 14th, it was red, similar to a regular menstrual period.
On February 15th, there was none.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, women do not have their period for more than 30 days after a miscarriage, and in your case, it is abnormal. You should avoid sexual intercourse within one month after the procedure, as it can easily lead to gynecological inflammation and affect uterine recovery. Although there was no insertion, there was a strong contraction of the uterus at that time, so the possibility of pregnancy should not be very high.
In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any type of miscarriage procedure will cause some damage to the female body. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. Miscarriage patients should focus on self-care, such as keeping warm and avoiding cold exposure.
