Recovery Time

Recovery after abortion usually takes a few days to a couple of weeks. Medical abortion may cause bleeding for up to 10 days, while surgical abortion often has a shorter recovery period. Rest, hydration, and following prescribed medications are essential. Most women can return to normal activities within a week, but complete internal recovery may take longer.

After the procedure, rest is advised, along with medications to manage pain and prevent infection. Your doctor may also suggest a follow-up scan to ensure complete recovery.

2 weeks: Most women recover physically and resume daily routine.

Follow-up visit: Usually scheduled within 7-14 days.
