What to Expect After an Abortion

✅ Light to moderate bleeding for a few days to two weeks
✅ Mild cramping, similar to a period
✅ Fatigue and emotional ups and downs

If you experience heavy bleeding (soaking more than two pads per hour), severe pain, fever, or foul-smelling discharge, contact your clinic immediately.

Essential Aftercare Tips

🩺 Rest for 1–2 days after the procedure
🦷 Avoid heavy lifting and intense exercise for at least one week
🚫 Do not use tampons or menstrual cups for two weeks
🚫 Avoid sexual activity for at least two weeks
💧 Stay hydrated and eat nutritious meals to support healing
🦷 Keep up with oral hygiene if you had anesthesia

Follow-Up Visit

Most clinics in Korea recommend a follow-up appointment 1–2 weeks after the procedure. This checkup ensures:
✅ Your uterus has returned to normal
✅ There are no signs of infection or retained tissue
✅ You’re healing properly

Emotional Support

It’s normal to feel a mix of emotions after an abortion. If you need someone to talk to, consider:

• Speaking with a trusted friend or partner
• Seeking a counselor or therapist (some clinics can provide referrals)
• Joining an online support group for expats or women’s health

Why Aftercare is Important

Proper aftercare helps prevent infections, manage side effects, and ensure your long-term reproductive health. Following these tips will help you recover safely and feel better sooner.

If you have any questions or concerns, always contact the clinic where you received care.
