Patient's question:
My girlfriend had an abortion and only bled for 1 day, then it stopped.It has been 3 days now, and she has been taking the medication prescribed by the doctor every day.
Please ask: What could be the issue in this case? How should it be adjusted?
Doctor's answer:
1. Generally, a rest period of half a month or a month is needed, as the uterus has new trauma and vaginal bleeding, making it prone to retrograde infection. Bathing in a tub is prohibited until the bleeding stops, and sexual activity is forbidden within the first month.2. Pay attention to hygiene in the genital area, such as washing the external genitalia daily, but be careful not to let dirty water flow into the vagina.
3. During the rest period, appropriate activity should be maintained to facilitate the discharge of blood from the uterus, and avoid lying in bed all day.
4. Pay attention to a balanced diet, ensuring adequate protein intake, such as eggs, milk, fish, poultry, meat, etc. At the same time, eat more vegetables and fruits. However, it is important to limit raw, cold, and hard foods to avoid stimulating the intestines and causing indigestion. Under the guidance of a doctor, you may supplement with soups and medicinal dishes according to your preferences.
5. Take the prescribed antibiotics and uterine contraction-promoting medications, such as motherwort, on time.
