Can I go back to work the day after an abortion?

Patient's question:

Can I go back to work the day after an abortion? The job is very easy, just walking around and sitting down every day.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! At least 2 weeks of rest are required after an induced abortion procedure. Limit reading newspapers and watching TV. Rest appropriately in bed and avoid heavy physical activities. Generally, it does not affect work, but adjust according to your physical condition, increase nutrition, and help your body recover quickly. Maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the external genital area, washing with warm water 1–2 times a day. Be careful not to let water enter the vagina and change sanitary pads frequently.
Do not take a bath for 2 weeks or until vaginal bleeding has stopped. Use a shower instead. Bathing can easily allow dirty water to enter the vagina, leading to infection. Abstain from sexual activity for the first month after the procedure to prevent infection. If you experience fever, abdominal pain, or abnormal odors in vaginal discharge, seek medical attention promptly.
