Treat yourself well after abortion
Whether it is any type of abortion, it is something women do not want to face. If it cannot be avoided, you should protect yourself better.
1. Rest and enhance nutrition. Rest for 2-3 days, and eat more protein-rich foods like fish, meat, and soy products, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins.
2. Maintain external genital hygiene and strictly avoid sexual intercourse. Wash underwear frequently and change it often. It is best to avoid sexual activity for at least one month.
3. Mild cramping that gradually subsides within 2-3 days after the procedure, slight bleeding within one week, no menstruation for about one month after the procedure, or slightly heavier menstrual periods within 2-3 months post-procedure are normal.
4. If vaginal bleeding lasts more than 10 days after the procedure; if menstrual periods are infrequent or absent for more than 40 days post-procedure, or if pregnancy symptoms persist; if sudden severe abdominal pain, sweating, palpitations, weak pulse, or hypotension occur, these may indicate complications and require prompt medical follow-up.
5. Adhere to contraception.
