Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: After taking medication for an abortion, the bleeding was not much at first, then reduced after about one and a half months. It stopped for a few days, and then my period came. Now, there is a little bit of something that looks like blood daily, but it's black and doesn't seem like blood—it's like dirty discharge. I also have a slight sensation in my lower abdomen daily, but it doesn't feel like pain. Online experts suggested I have a uterine clearance. Please ask how many days of rest are needed after the procedure, what precautions to take, and how many days before I can have sex?Doctor's answer:
Hello,1. On the day of the cesarean section, there may be mild lower abdominal discomfort, pain, or a small amount of vaginal bleeding. If the abdominal pain is severe, the vaginal bleeding is heavy, or the bleeding does not stop for a long time, seek medical attention promptly.
2. Within 2 weeks after the surgery, rest appropriately, increase your intake of nutritious foods, and avoid heavy physical labor.
3. Pay attention to perineal hygiene. When vaginal bleeding has not stopped, avoid taking baths and sexual activity.
4. Pay attention to contraception to prevent pregnancy again.
