After an abortion, you should not come into contact with cold water. Cold water can bring a chilling effect, and since the body is very weak after an abortion, exposure to cold water may lead to soreness and swelling in the hands and feet. Avoid using cold water after an abortion procedure, as it could result in complications. After undergoing an induced abortion, bed rest is recommended. When washing your hands or face, use warm water at a temperature of about 40°C.
