Is it necessary to apply medication to the vagina after an abortion procedure?

Patient's question:

Hello, I just had an abortion surgery and was told to do 3 days of uterine preservation treatment and vaginal medication. They said I have endometritis. Is it necessary?

Doctor's answer:

Within one month after an induced abortion, vaginal medication or douching should not be performed, and sexual intercourse is also prohibited. Additionally, if there is no acute inflammation of the reproductive organs before the surgery, there is no need for intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment after the procedure. To prevent postoperative infection, taking a broad-spectrum antibiotic orally for 3-5 days is sufficient. The key is to pay attention to postoperative care; if vaginal bleeding does not subside after half a month, it is necessary to return to the hospital for a check-up.
