Patient's question:
Four months pregnant, I'm going to have an abortion. What should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Hello, pregnant women must abstain from sexual activity for one week before undergoing an abortion, and bathing is necessary, especially cleaning the lower abdomen and genital area more thoroughly. During the abortion, doctors should strictly adhere to sterile procedures. After the abortion, if there is vaginal bleeding or fever, the cause should be identified, and residual tissue in the uterine cavity should be cleared to stop bleeding and prevent the presence of infection sources. Once a patient develops fever, bacterial culture should be performed, and high-dose antibiotics should be administered to control the infection. Additionally, it is important to avoid severe complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease, peritonitis, or sepsis.
