Patient's question:
Hello Doctor!Do I have to rest in bed at home after taking medication for an abortion? Or can I do some appropriate exercise?
Also, what kind of supplements should I take?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is essential to rest at home for about a week, preferably for one month if possible. Pay attention to proper rest, as the workload should not be too heavy;Avoid catching a cold or getting chilled;
Eat more nutritious foods to help your body recover quickly;
Maintain cleanliness in the external genital area. Avoid sexual activity for one month, as the damaged endometrium needs time to heal and to prevent infections of the reproductive organs.
After taking medication for two weeks, observe whether there is bleeding or abdominal pain. If necessary, go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. If it is incomplete abortion, immediate uterine evacuation should be performed.
If sudden heavy active bleeding, fever, or severe abdominal pain occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
