Patient's question:
After half a month, people returned to work, but after working, standing up frequently makes them very tired. Does it have a significant impact on health?Doctor's answer:
After artificial abortion, it is necessary to rest for 2 weeks, maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and consume more nutritious foods to help the body recover as soon as possible. Before menstruation resumes after abortion, sexual activity, sitz baths, vaginal irrigation, and medication should be prohibited. 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.Advice: The amount of bleeding after abortion should be less than the normal menstrual flow, and the bleeding duration should be less than 2 weeks. The abdominal pain should generally not exceed 3 days. If these standards are exceeded, it should be considered possible intrauterine residual tissue, incomplete uterine involution, or uterine cavity infection. It is important to actively seek medical examination and diagnosis for symptomatic treatment.
