Patient's question:
After the painless abortion, I bled on the first day, stopped on the second day, and had heavy bleeding on the third day. I ate apples, drank cold water, and washed my hands with cold water. Is this the reason? Or was the surgery unsuccessful?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your situation is normal, which indicates that the surgery was successful. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up checkup and an ultrasound around one week after the procedure to examine whether there are any residual substances in the uterus and the recovery condition of the uterus. After the procedure, it is important to rest and enhance nutrition. Avoid heavy physical labor and strenuous activities within half a month, and avoid contact with cold water. Eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and soy products, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins, to speed up recovery. Intercourse is not allowed within one month after the procedure. Early intercourse can lead to infection, cause gynecological inflammation, and hinder uterine recovery.
