Patient's question:
I am 28 years old. What problems should I pay attention to after taking medication for an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Hello: After taking medication for an abortion, you can usually return to work after resting for about 2-3 days. However, please pay attention to the following basic points:- Rest appropriately and avoid excessive workload;
- Avoid catching a cold or getting chilled;
- Eat more nutritious foods to help your body recover quickly;
- Maintain cleanliness in the external genital area. Avoid sexual activity for one month, as the damaged endometrium needs time to heal. Prevent infections of the reproductive organs.
Two weeks after taking medication for an abortion, observe whether there is bleeding or abdominal pain. If necessary, visit a hospital for an ultrasound examination. If it is incomplete abortion, immediate uterine evacuation should be performed.
If you suddenly experience heavy active bleeding, fever, severe abdominal pain, seek medical attention immediately.
