Medicines:
You may need any of the following:
- NSAIDs , such as ibuprofen, help decrease swelling, pain, and fever. NSAIDs can cause stomach bleeding or kidney problems in certain people. If you take blood thinner medicine, always ask your healthcare provider if NSAIDs are safe for you. Always read the medicine label and follow directions.
- Acetaminophen decreases pain and fever. It is available without a doctor's order. Ask how much to take and how often to take it. Follow directions. Read the labels of all other medicines you are using to see if they also contain acetaminophen, or ask your doctor or pharmacist. Acetaminophen can cause liver damage if not taken correctly.
- Take your medicine as directed. Contact your healthcare provider if you think your medicine is not helping or if you have side effects. Tell your provider if you are allergic to any medicine. Keep a list of the medicines, vitamins, and herbs you take. Include the amounts, and when and why you take them. Bring the list or the pill bottles to follow-up visits. Carry your medicine list with you in case of an emergency.
Follow all instructions on when to return to your regular activities:
Your healthcare provider will tell you when it is safe to have sex, soak in a bath or hot tub, and use tampons again. It is important to follow all of these instructions to prevent an infection.
Self-care:
- Rest as needed when you get home. You may have mild cramps or feel tired.
- Apply heat to your abdomen to relieve cramps. Use a heating pad on a low setting, or a water bottle with warm water. Wrap the pad or bottle with a towel and place it on your abdomen for 20 minutes every hour, or as directed.
- Keep a record of your monthly periods. Record the day your period started and stopped each month. Also record if you had a lighter flow than before the procedure. The first few months might vary. It may take 3 months for your period to return to normal. Bring your record with you to follow-up visits with your healthcare provider.
Follow up with your healthcare provider as directed:
Write down your questions so you remember to ask them during your visits.
