Is it possible to take a shower after an abortion without pain?

Patient's question:

Today, just finished the painless abortion and came back. Can I wash my hair and take a bath?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the pregnant woman's physical condition, rest for 7-15 days.
Post-Abortion Surgery Precautions:
1. After an abortion, you need to rest for 2 weeks and avoid reading newspapers and watching TV.
2. During the first 2 weeks after the surgery, rest appropriately in bed and avoid heavy physical labor.
3. Eat more nutritious foods to help your body recover quickly.
4. Maintain cleanliness in the external genital area. Wash with warm water 1–2 times a day and change sanitary pads and underwear frequently.
5. Do not take a bath for 2 weeks or until the bleeding stops.
6. Avoid sexual activity for 1 month to prevent infection. If you have a fever, abdominal pain, or abnormal-smelling discharge, seek follow-up treatment promptly.
