Can I take a bath or use tampons or cups after an abortion?

We advice you to use menstrual pads after an abortion with pill and not use tampons or cups. 

You can better measure your bloodloss with a menstrual pad. 

Also you cannot forget to take out a pad. Using a tampon and a cup requires proper hygiene like handwashing and regular removal (every 8-12 hours) to prevent bacterial growth. Leaving a tampon or cup inside the vagina for a long period of time can cause an serious infection. 

You can take a bath anytime
