Will masturbation on the third day after medication abortion lead to infertility?

Patient's question:

Now it has been seven days since I completed the medication abortion and uterine clearance. There is very little blood, almost none, but each time the blood that comes out is only the size of a fingernail, dark brown and black, like crushed small blood cakes. Is it serious? I might be able to go outside and wash my hair in a few days, using a hairdryer? I only ate bananas and lychees on the sixth day. Can I eat melons? What other fruits can I eat? On the third day after the medication abortion and uterine clearance, I had self-massage of the external genitalia but did not enter the vagina. Will this cause infertility in the future? Can I not get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, since you had self-masturbation only 3 days after giving birth, it may cause uterine contractions and is not good for uterine recovery. It may lead to prolonged bleeding.
Advice: You need to rest in bed for 3 to 7 days. Washing your hair is not recommended until at least 1 week later. You can eat fruits, but it is best to blanch them in hot water. Avoid sexual activity for the first month and avoid pregnancy for the first 6 months. After 2 weeks, go to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound to check the condition of your uterus.
