Preoperative check revealed leukocytes ++ in vaginal discharge, III degree cleanliness, mild cervical erosion. Laser ablation was performed, followed by the abortion procedure the next day. Questions: 1 - Does the patient have any ovarian function issues? 2 - Are there any potential risks after the surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Your situation should be fine! No need to worry! However, it is essential to actively take good care of yourself!1. Maintain a regular lifestyle: Even if the abortion procedure is very successful, if your post-surgery life is not regular, it may worsen bleeding or leave behind sequelae. You can rest in the hospital for one day after the surgery or go home. In the following days, you still need to go to the hospital for observation and treatment, and ensure adequate rest.
2. Clothing should be loose and avoid tight-fitting clothes.
3. During this period, do not drink alcohol, and do not take a bath without the doctor's permission, as bathing can sometimes lead to infection.
4. You can resume sexual activity only after bleeding has completely stopped 10 days to 2 weeks after the surgery.
5. To ensure the health of the mother, do not get pregnant immediately after surgery, as the uterus is damaged during the procedure, and pregnancy at this time is very dangerous. Safe contraceptive measures must be taken for this reason.
6. If you use medication for abortion, you must undergo the doctor's observation to see if the medication is effective and whether the abortion is complete.
7. Starting from the second day after the surgery, avoid overexertion and physical activity.
Pay attention to these points, and they generally will not lead to infertility or sequelae. Abortion should be avoided unless absolutely necessary, as medical evidence shows that the risk of infertility and sequelae increases with the number of abortions.
