Patient's question:
Currently, in general situations: It has been more than ten days since I had medication abortion. I had sexual intercourse on the fifth day after the abortion. Could this have any impact? There are always some blood streaks and secretions in my vagina. Is this normal?Follow-up question: Could you please ask the doctor what symptoms might occur if the abortion is not complete?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, this is due to the medication abortion you just had. It will improve after a period of recovery. One week after the abortion, you should have a B check-up at the hospital. Two weeks after the abortion, you should rest appropriately. It is not recommended to have sexual intercourse too soon after the abortion. Eat nutritious foods.After an abortion, you should rest for at least two weeks.
1. In terms of diet, avoid cold, spicy foods, alcohol, and increase nutrition. Focus on light, nutritious foods rich in protein, such as fish, meat, eggs, and products, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins.
2. Do not have sexual intercourse for one month after the abortion, as it increases the risk of infection. After that, use contraception to avoid suffering again. Pregnancy should not occur until at least six months later.
3. Pay attention to vaginal hygiene.
4. In terms of health care, keep warm appropriately. Avoid spicy foods. Avoid sitting baths for the first seven days, as it increases the risk of infection.
5. Vaginal bleeding usually lasts for 7–10 days, but it should not exceed 15 days. If the bleeding lasts too long, is heavier than your usual menstrual flow, or is accompanied by severe abdominal pain, it may indicate infection or incomplete abortion. It is recommended to visit the hospital for a check-up.
