Patient's question:
Hello, I just had an abortion with no pain today. How long can I take a shower?Can I eat fruits in these days? What kind of diet should I follow?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: At least one week is required / Precautions after:1. Maintain a regular lifestyle: Even if the abortion procedure is successful, irregular postoperative life can worsen bleeding or leave sequelae. You can rest in the hospital for one day after the surgery or return home. In the following days, you should continue to receive observation and treatment at the hospital and ensure adequate rest.
2. Clothing should be loose 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 can only be resumed after bleeding has completely stopped 10 days to 2 weeks after the surgery.
5. To ensure maternal health, do not conceive immediately after the 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 medication-induced abortion is used, medical observation is necessary to check if the medication is effective and whether the abortion is complete.
7. From the second day after the surgery, avoid excessive labor and exercise.
Pay attention to these points, and they generally will not lead to infertility or sequelae. Abortion should be avoided unless absolutely necessary, as medical evidence shows that the risk of infertility and sequelae increases with the number of abortions.
