Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Will pregnancy ovulation test strips show positive?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it will no longer be positive. It is recommended to check blood HCG one week after the menstrual period to determine if pregnancy has occurred, or to use a pregnancy test kit one week after the delay in menstruation, which usually can confirm pregnancy. After an artificial abortion, it is necessary to rest for 2 weeks, maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and consume more nutritious foods to help the body recover as soon as possible. After an abortion, sexual activity, sitz baths, vaginal irrigation, and medication should be avoided before menstruation returns. 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. The amount of bleeding after an abortion should be less than the menstrual flow, and the bleeding duration should be less than 2 weeks. Abdominal pain should generally not exceed 3 days. If the bleeding exceeds these standards, it should be considered as possible intrauterine residue, incomplete uterine involution, or uterine cavity infection, and active medical examination should be conducted for diagnosis and symptomatic treatment.
