What Are the Differences Between Lying Down and Sitting After an Abortion?

There is not much difference between lying in bed and sitting after abortion, as they are both different forms of rest. After artificial abortion surgery, it is important to combine activity with rest, and not to absolutely stay in bed or rest statically. Because after artificial abortion surgery, there will be a small amount of residual blood in the uterine cavity. Appropriate activities can promote uterine contraction and help the residual materials in the uterus to be expelled faster under the effect of gravity, thus reducing the risk of uterine residual or adhesion. However, abortion surgery can cause certain trauma to the patient's body, so the patient may be relatively weak after the surgery. If they feel tired after activities, they should take appropriate rest, and also pay attention to keeping warm and avoid getting chilled.
