Doctor's answer:

Hello friend:
Post-abortion precautions:
1. Abstain from sexual activity for one month and avoid hot tubs for two weeks.
2. Avoid smoking, alcohol, spicy, and other irritating foods. Focus on strengthening nutrition.
3. Rest well and avoid heavy physical labor or excessive fatigue.
4. Do not wash with cold water or laundry.
5. Take medication for five days post-surgery to prevent infection.
Monitor vaginal bleeding closely. If bleeding is excessive, persistent, or accompanied by other discomforts, seek medical attention promptly.
6. When showering, close doors and windows to prevent drafts. After showering, ensure warmth.
