What should be paid attention to after surgery?

Patient's question:

What should be paid attention to after an abortion? What kind of medicine is better?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Post-abortion Precautions:
1. Maintain a regular lifestyle: Even if the abortion procedure is successful, irregular postoperative life can worsen bleeding or leave behind sequelae. You can rest at the hospital for one day or return home after the surgery. In the following days, continue to visit the hospital for observation and treatment, ensuring adequate rest.
2. Wear loose clothing and avoid tight-fitting attire.
3. Do not drink alcohol during this period, and do not bathe without medical permission, as bathing may sometimes lead to infection.
4. Sexual activity should only resume after bleeding has completely stopped 10 days to 2 weeks post-surgery.
5. To ensure maternal health, do not conceive immediately after the surgery, as the uterus may be damaged during the procedure, making pregnancy dangerous at this time. Safe contraceptive measures must be taken.
6. If using medication for abortion, medical observation is necessary to ensure the medication is effective and the abortion is complete.
7. From the second day after surgery, avoid excessive labor and 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.
