Patient's question:
I had a medication abortion 9 days ago, and the ultrasound still shows 10mm residue. I've been taking Motherwort, but there's still no bleeding. I had a medication abortion 9 days ago, and the ultrasound still shows 10mm residue. The expert prescribed Motherwort for me to boil and drink at home. Could you please tell me if a 10mm residue after medication abortion requires a D&C procedure?Doctor's answer:
If the medication abortion is 1cm, it means the miscarriage was not completely cleared, but the residual tissue is not significant. I'm glad to assist you. Since the residual tissue is not much, it can be promoted to be expelled through medication. If it hasn't been expelled after one week of medication, it's not too late to consider a D&C procedure. During this time, it's advisable to engage in appropriate physical activity and avoid lying down frequently, as it is not conducive to the expulsion of residual tissue. Currently, if there is residual tissue after medication abortion, it is necessary to undergo a timely D&C procedure, as medication alone cannot expel it.
