Patient's question:
Can you not wash your hair and take a bath after a D&C surgery? What precautions should be paid attention to?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Post-abortion Precautions:1. Maintain a regular lifestyle: Even if the abortion procedure is successful, irregular post-surgery life can worsen bleeding or leave behind sequelae. You may rest in the hospital for one day after the surgery or return home. In the following days, continue to receive observation and treatment at the hospital and ensure adequate rest.
2. Wear loose clothing and avoid tight-fitting garments.
3. Do not drink alcohol during this period, and do not bathe without medical permission, as bathing may sometimes lead to infection.
4. Sexual activity should only resume after bleeding has completely stopped 10 days to 2 weeks post-surgery.
5. To ensure maternal health, do not conceive immediately after surgery, as the uterus may be damaged during the procedure, making pregnancy dangerous at this time. Safe contraceptive measures must be taken.
6. If medication-induced abortion is used, medical observation is necessary to monitor the effectiveness of the medication and whether the abortion is complete.
7. From the second day after surgery, avoid overexertion and strenuous exercise.
