How many days of rest are needed after medication abortion?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Generally, after the expulsion of medication-induced abortion tissue, patients need to stay in the hospital for observation for 1 hour. If vaginal bleeding is not significant, they can go home and rest. After an abortion, it is advisable to rest appropriately, eat nutritious foods, and avoid heavy physical labor. Pay attention to external genital hygiene; during periods of vaginal bleeding, avoid taking baths and sexual activity. In the first 2-3 days after an abortion, the amount of vaginal bleeding is usually equivalent to or slightly more than the normal menstrual flow. If the vaginal bleeding is heavy or persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. After an abortion, ovulation may resume quickly, so contraceptive measures should be taken to prevent another pregnancy.
