Patient's question:
How long should one rest after a painless abortion?Doctor's answer:
Please take at least 2 weeks of rest after a miscarriage.1. In terms of diet, avoid raw, cold, and spicy foods, alcohol, and increase nutrition. Focus on light, nutrient-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and protein-rich foods like soy products, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins.
2. Do not have sexual intercourse for one month. There is a risk of infection. Afterward, take contraceptive measures to avoid suffering again. Pregnancy should not occur until at least 6 months have passed.
3. Pay attention to hygiene for the lower body to prevent gynecological infections. Showering is recommended. If inflammation occurs, oral medications such as metronidazole, levofloxacin, or amoxicillin can be taken. If abdominal pain occurs, antibiotics and motherwort herbal tea can be consumed.
4. In terms of health care, stay appropriately warm. Avoid spicy foods. Avoid soaking in a bath for 7 days to prevent infection.
5. Vaginal bleeding usually lasts for 7–10 days, with a maximum of 15 days. If bleeding lasts too long, the amount of bleeding exceeds the normal menstrual flow, or there is severe abdominal pain, it may indicate infection or incomplete miscarriage. It is recommended to seek medical attention for examination.
