Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. How long does it take to return to normal life after taking medication for an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Keep the external genitalia clean, and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse. After an induced abortion, the cervix has not yet fully closed, and the endometrium also has a healing process. During this period, it is particularly important to pay attention to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia. Sanitary napkins and other supplies, as well as underwear, should be washed and changed frequently. Avoid sitting baths within half a month after the surgery to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If sexual intercourse occurs too soon after an induced abortion, it may lead to acute endometritis, pelvic inflammation, and even secondary infertility. Therefore, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month after the surgery.
