Patient's question:
After being pregnant for two months, I had a miscarriage. On January 13, 2006, I had an abortion. Three days later, there were signs of bleeding, and I had mild pain in my left abdomen. Now I've noticed milk discharge. Is this normal? What else should I pay attention to? Please reply. Thank you!!Doctor's answer:
Hello: There is no problem with your situation. Just actively take good care of yourself! Post-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 or go home after the surgery. 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 clothes.
3. Do not drink alcohol during this period, and do not bathe without permission from your doctor, as bathing may sometimes cause infection.
4. You can resume sexual activity only after bleeding completely stops 10 days to 2 weeks after the 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 you use 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 overexertion and strenuous 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.
