Introduction
Having urticaria after an abortion is not a "postpartum" condition. Urticaria following an abortion may result from an allergic reaction to anesthesia used during a painless abortion procedure, decreased immunity after the abortion, an allergic response triggered by exposure to certain substances, or internal systemic issues. It does not fall under the category of postpartum illnesses. With proper and timely treatment, it can usually be resolved without developing into a long-term postpartum condition.

Urticaria after an abortion may occur due to an allergy to anesthetic drugs used during painless abortion procedures, or because of reduced immunity after the procedure. It could also stem from an allergic reaction upon exposure to certain substances or from internal system imbalances. This condition does not fall under "postpartum illnesses," and with active treatment, it generally resolves without long-term complications.

If urticaria develops after an abortion, it is recommended to use antihistamine medications under a doctor’s guidance, such as loratadine tablets, cetirizine hydrochloride tablets, or ebastine tablets. Additionally, avoid contact with known allergens, engage in moderate exercise to strengthen physical health, and reduce the likelihood of urticaria recurrence.

Individuals experiencing urticaria after an abortion should wear soft, comfortable cotton clothing, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and promptly visit a hospital to identify the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
