Patient's question:

How long do you need to rest after taking medication for an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Whether it's medication or induced abortion, both can cause certain harm to a woman's body. Therefore, regardless of the method chosen for abortion, a certain period of rest and recovery is needed. In the case of medication abortion, it is generally recommended to rest for at least half a month after the procedure. Additionally, avoid sexual intercourse and contact with cold water for the next month. Do not eat cold or raw foods. Take the medication as prescribed by your doctor, and seek medical attention immediately if there are any abnormalities in vaginal bleeding. A follow-up check-up is required two weeks later. Wait until at least six months have passed before trying to conceive again.
