Hello, after an induced abortion, you should rest in bed for 2-3 days. After that, you can get up and move around, gradually increasing the duration of activity. Within the first half month after the procedure, avoid heavy physical labor and work involving cold water, and avoid getting cold. During this period, pay special attention to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia. Wash and change sanitary pads and underwear frequently. Avoid sitting baths within the first half month after the procedure to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If sexual intercourse occurs too soon after an induced abortion, it can easily lead to acute endometritis, pelvic inflammation, and may even result in infertility. Therefore, sexual activity is strictly prohibited within the first month after the procedure.
