Patient's question:
Please ask the gynecologist: I had a D&C and IV drip for three days. Today is the third day. What should I pay attention to after the D&C? Will it affect future fertility? Is a little bleeding normal after the procedure? Do I need to take medication after the IV drip? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, it is important to rest, maintain a balanced diet, and stay in bed for at least a week. You can return to work after two weeks. Avoid cold water and pay attention to hygiene in the perineal area. Change your underwear and pants frequently. Since intravenous medication is being used, there is no need to take oral antibiotics. A small amount of bleeding after an abortion is normal, but if the bleeding does not stop within two weeks and is accompanied by a large amount or a foul odor, you should seek medical attention from the gynecology department promptly. Abstain from sexual activity for at least one month after an abortion to avoid damaging the uterus or causing infection.
