Patient's question:
After the abortion on the third day, my stomach hurt, not just the lower abdomen, but the whole stomach.Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, the cervix has not yet fully closed, and the endometrium also has a healing process. During this period, it is important to pay special attention to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia. Sanitary napkins and other supplies, as well as underwear, should be washed and changed frequently. Avoid bathing in a tub for the first half month after the procedure to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If sexual intercourse occurs too early after an abortion, it may lead to acute endometritis, pelvic inflammation, or even secondary infertility. Therefore, sexual activity is strictly prohibited for the first month after an abortion.
