Patient's question:
I had a painless abortion on November 11th and have now recovered. There are no longer any abnormal symptoms. Does this mean that I no longer have any problems? Thank youDoctor's answer:
Hello; After an artificial abortion, you need to rest for two weeks, keep the external genital area clean, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and consume more nutrient-rich foods. Pay attention to the fact that sexual activity, sitz baths, vaginal irrigation, and medication should be avoided after the abortion until menstruation resumes. This is because the cervix is relaxed, the endometrium is shedding, and the local defense ability is weakened, making it easy to cause retrograde infection, leading to pelvic inflammatory diseases such as endometritis and adnexitis. Severe cases may result in infertility.
