After having an abortion in summer, it is okay to go out. However, one should pay attention to keeping warm and protecting themself in rainy days. Strictly speaking, bed rest is not necessarily required after an abortion, but proper rest is essential to avoid excessive fatigue and high-intensity work. At the same time, one should keep warm, avoid getting chilled, refrain from eating cold drinks, cold meals, and foods with cold properties. Oral administration of Leonurus Heterophyllus Granules is recommended within one week after the surgery to promote uterine involution. Sexual activity and sitting baths are prohibited within one month.
After having an abortion in summer, patients can go out, but they don't have to stay indoors completely like after childbirth. Patients can go out appropriately, but they must keep warm when doing so. Although it is hot in summer, air conditioning is commonly used in many places. If the air conditioning is too cold, patients are susceptible to catching a cold. As the body's resistance is very low after an abortion, patients should bring a thicker coat and add appropriate clothing when entering air-conditioned rooms or cooler places. Although it is generally okay to go out about a week after an abortion in summer, the specific timing should be determined based on the patient's physical condition. After an abortion, regardless of whether it's summer or winter, it is advisable to stay at home and reduce or even avoid going out, and to rest in bed. At home in summer, one should always be mindful of preventing heatstroke. According to traditional Chinese medicine, it is not recommended to use air conditioning or fans directly after an abortion, and cold water should not be used for bathing. The body becomes weak and prone to sweating after an abortion, making it vulnerable to heatstroke due to high temperatures. Many women tend to reduce their exposure to drafts and air conditioning less in summer, which can lead to common colds.
