Patient's question:
I just had an abortion surgery yesterday afternoon, but the vaginal bleeding stopped within two hours. I don't have any abdominal pain, and my body doesn't feel any other abnormalities. I heard that others' bleeding lasts for more than three days. Is this normal? I'm so worried and scared.Also, what kind of anti-inflammatory medicine should I take after an abortion? Additional question: After the surgery, the doctor told me it's essential to take anti-inflammatory medication. If I don't want to get injections, I can take oral anti-inflammatory pills (I've already received three days of injections). I don't want to get more injections. What kind of medicine should I take instead? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Your situation may also occur, don't worryPost-abortion precautions:
1. Maintain a regular lifestyle: Even if the abortion procedure is successful, irregular life after surgery can worsen bleeding or leave sequelae. You can rest in the hospital for one day after the surgery or go home. In the following days, you still need to go to the hospital for observation and treatment, and ensure adequate rest.
2. Clothing should be loose and avoid tight-fitting clothes.
3. Do not drink alcohol during this period, and do not take a bath without the doctor's permission, as bathing may sometimes cause infection.
4. Sexual activity can only be resumed after bleeding completely stops 10 days to 2 weeks after surgery.
5. To ensure maternal health, do not get pregnant immediately after surgery, as the uterus is damaged during the procedure, making pregnancy at this time very dangerous. Safe contraceptive measures must be taken for this reason.
6. If using medication for abortion, you must undergo medical observation to check if the medication is effective and whether the abortion is complete.
7. From the second day after surgery, avoid excessive labor and exercise.
