Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: After taking medication for an abortion, there was minimal bleeding for about one and a half months, which then decreased. It stopped for a few days, and then my period came. Now, there is a little bit of something that looks like blood, but it's black and doesn't seem like blood—it's like dirty discharge. I also feel a slight sensation in my lower abdomen, but it's not like pain. Online experts suggested I have a uterine clearance. Please ask how many days of rest are needed after the procedure, what precautions should be taken, and how many days before I can have sexual intercourse?Doctor's answer:
Hello,1. On the day of the cesarean section, you may experience mild lower abdominal discomfort, pain, or a small amount of vaginal bleeding. If the abdominal pain is severe, the vaginal bleeding is heavy, or the bleeding does not stop for a long time, seek medical attention promptly.
2. Within 2 weeks after the surgery, rest appropriately, increase your intake of nutritious foods, and avoid heavy physical labor.
3. Pay attention to perineal hygiene. When vaginal bleeding has not stopped, avoid taking baths and sexual activity.
4. Pay attention to contraception to prevent pregnancy again.
