Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness.How long does it take for bleeding after medication abortion and uterine aspiration?
Doctor's answer:
After the operation, cold water should not be used to wash the head, take a shower, or wash hands. When washing clothes and vegetables, cold water should also be avoided; if necessary, wear gloves. If excessive exercise causes heavy sweating, it is essential to keep warm and avoid catching a cold. Intercourse is not allowed for three months postpartum. This is because the duration of lochia postpartum is generally 2 to 4 weeks. Although lochia may have stopped, the uterine muscular wound has not yet fully healed, and physical exhaustion from delivery has not recovered. The body's resistance is also weak. If intercourse occurs too early, it may easily lead to infection and conditions such as vaginitis.
