Do you need to sit for a month after a medical abortion?

There is no need for menstruation after a medical abortion. A medical abortion only uses drugs to kill the embryo’s activity and to promote uterine contraction for the purpose of abortion, without any uterine operation. As long as the amount of vaginal bleeding is not too much, the overall damage to the patient’s body is relatively small. Therefore, the patient can go to work normally after a week of rest after the abortion. During the week of rest, the patient should not rest in bed and not go out as in the case of menstruation, but must combine movement and stillness, both resting and moving properly, and can go out normally if she needs to go out. Proper rest is good for promoting the recovery of the uterus and the body; proper activity is also good for promoting the contraction of the uterus, which is good for the accumulation of blood and meconium in the uterine cavity to be discharged out of the uterine cavity as soon as possible under the action of gravity, so as to minimize the possibility of uterine cavity residue and uterine cavity adhesions, and is also good for the patient’s postoperative recovery.
