Patient's question:
Hello, I had a painless abortion surgery at 40 weeks of pregnancy. Can I work now? Also, why do I always need to urinate?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is recommended to rest for 3 days after the procedure. If you really don't have time, you can return to work the next day as long as your job does not involve heavy physical labor. It is crucial to have the procedure done in a regular hospital.Additionally, I need to explain that many women who experience unintended pregnancies believe that medication abortion is safe and convenient, reducing the pain associated with surgery. However, this is not the case. Medication abortion requires taking medication for 3 days—taking the first 2 doses at home and the third dose at the hospital for observation. Medication abortion actually takes longer than surgical abortion.
