Proper post-abortion body care helps in quick recovery, reduces the risk of complications, and allows you to return to life with confidence.

Basic Self-Care Tips

  • Get enough rest during the first 1-2 days after the abortion, as the body may feel weak or experience mild abdominal pain.
  • Avoid heavy lifting intense exercise, or strenuous work during the first week.
  • Eat nutritious food especially foods rich in iron and protein, such as liver, egg yolks, and leafy greens.
  • Avoid sexual intercourse for at least 2 weeks to prevent infection and allow the body to recover.
  • Start contraception immediately if not ready for pregnancy as ovulation can occur as early as 2 weeks after the abortion.
  • Return for a follow-up appointment to assess health and ensure the body has returned to normal.

Abnormal symptoms that require immediate medical attention

  • Excessive bleeding, such as soaking more than 2 sanitary pads in 1 hour for more than 2 hours.
  • Fever, chills, or severe abdominal pain that does not improve with pain medication.
  • Unusual discharge with abnormal odor and color.
