Patient's question:
Hello:Had an abortion on Saturday and took a rest on Sunday, but worked from Monday to Saturday without taking leave. The work was quite light. However, I sat during the work hours. Will this affect anything? (I heard adults say it's better to sleep more).
Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is uncertain what specific effects this will have!1. Maintain a regular lifestyle: Even if the abortion surgery is very successful, if your life lacks routine after the surgery, it may worsen bleeding or leave behind 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 permission from your doctor, as bathing may sometimes cause infection.
4. You can resume sexual activity only after bleeding has completely stopped 10 days to 2 weeks after the surgery.
5. To ensure the health of the mother, do not get pregnant immediately after the surgery, as the uterus is damaged during the procedure, and pregnancy at this time is very dangerous. Safe contraceptive measures must be taken for this reason.
6. If you use medication for abortion, you must undergo medical observation to see if the medication is effective and whether the abortion is complete.
7. Starting from the second day after the surgery, avoid overexertion and physical activity.
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.
