What should be paid attention to after an abortion surgery?

Patient's question:

Please ask if it has been almost two years since giving birth (vaginal delivery), and in these days, it has been discovered that you are pregnant. What should be paid attention to when undergoing an abortion surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Generally, medical abortion can be considered for intrauterine pregnancy within 49 days of pregnancy, and if it exceeds 49 days, surgical abortion should be considered. After surgical abortion, avoid catching a cold and rest for 1-2 weeks before going back to work. After discharge, you can engage in light activities but avoid overexertion. Additionally, do not have sexual intercourse or take a bath for the first month after the procedure. On hot days, when you sweat easily, you can take a shower. If there is still vaginal bleeding after more than a week, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up check.
