Disease description:

Due to thick endometrium and irregular menstruation, I've been undergoing调理 (regulation/treatment) without significant improvement. The other day I had a diagnostic endometrial curettage. I would like to know how long I need to rest to recover after this procedure?

After endometrial curettage, it is generally recommended to rest for 1 to 2 weeks. This duration is not fixed and may vary depending on individual recovery conditions. 1. General condition: Following endometrial curettage, light vaginal bleeding is normal. Bleeding typically lasts 3 to 7 days, although the exact duration may vary among individuals. 2. Rest recommendations: If your physical condition is good and recovery is quick, one week of rest may be sufficient. However, if you have a weaker constitution or slower recovery, two weeks or more of rest may be necessary. 3. Precautions: During the rest period, avoid overexertion and strenuous activities, though light mobility is acceptable. Maintain good personal hygiene to prevent infection, and follow a healthy diet to ensure adequate nutrition.
