Patient's question:
I would like to ask, what foods should not be eaten after an abortion without pain! What precautions should be noted? Can I go back to work after resting for three days after the surgery?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, avoid cold foods. Maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse. The cervix has not fully closed after an abortion, and the endometrium also has a healing process. During this period, it is particularly important to maintain 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 within half a month after the procedure to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If sexual intercourse occurs too soon after an abortion, it may lead to acute endometritis, pelvic inflammation, or even secondary infertility. Therefore, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month after an abortion.
