After undergoing a curettage procedure, it is important to rest in bed. When physically able, engage in moderate ambulation to help expel retained blood from the uterus. During the recovery period, antibiotics such as metronidazole or tinidazole may be taken to prevent intrauterine infection. Medications like Yimucao granules or Xinshenghua granules can also be used, as they promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and unblock meridians. Additionally, maintain body warmth and moderately improve nutrition by consuming items such as brown sugar water, milk, and egg yolks.
