Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery and feel dizzy when getting up, no energy. It's probably anemia. A bit feverish now, lower back pain, still no energy. I got anti-inflammatory medicine yesterday but didn't take it. Then I took the first dose this morning at 8 a.m. Am I infected?Doctor's answer:
Hello; After an artificial abortion, you need to rest for two weeks, keep the external genital area clean, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and consume more nutritious foods. Pay attention to avoiding sexual activity, sitting baths, vaginal irrigation, and medication before menstruation returns after the abortion. This is because the cervix is relaxed, the endometrium is shedding, and the local defense ability is weakened, making it easy to cause retrograde infection, leading to pelvic inflammatory diseases such as endometritis and adnexitis. Severe cases may result in infertility.
