Patient's question:
I am 20 years old. The day before yesterday, I had an abortion without anesthesia, and ever since then, I still have occasional pain and some bleeding. Is this normal? When can I start taking supplements? Is it necessary to wait for a week? Please reply! Thank you!Doctor's answer:
The amount of bleeding after an abortion generally does not affect future menstruation. After an abortion, it is important to maintain hygiene and avoid catching a cold. Short-term oral contraceptives can be taken after an abortion to protect the endometrium and prevent uterine adhesion. Moderate activity is recommended to facilitate the discharge of blood. In fact, under normal circumstances, any method of abortion will have some impact on a woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to their diet. Patients undergoing an abortion should take care of themselves, such as adjusting their diet, paying attention to warmth, and avoiding catching a cold.
