Category: Post abortion

My answer – 1. Avoid cold water 1-2 weeks after an abortion. Drink warm water. 

2. Monitor your bleeding. If you’re still bleeding or spotting 2 weeks after an abortion, seek medical attention urgently

3. Avoid sexual intercourse including fingering or head 1-2 weeks after an abortion to avoid infection

4. If you notice fever, abdominal pain or foul smelling discharge, seek urgent medical attention 

5. 2 weeks after the abortion, go for an ultrasound scan to check for retained particles 

6. Consider long-term contraception if you don’t want to get pregnant anytime soon.

Hello, I dunno if this question is related to the topic, but l have a bothersome question and need an answer. I have been seeing something about abortion after care. I once had an abortion few months ago and I don’t think I had anything like “aftercare”. I want to know what “after care” means, and if there is any side effect if certain aftercare measures weren’t taken after an abortion.

My answer – Yes. Post abortion care or abortion aftercare is important. It’s not too late to get it done. Do the following –

– a full blood count test, 

– an ultrasound scan to check for incomplete abortion,

– a Rhesus factor compatibility test.
