Patient's question:
Female, 29 years old, used medication for abortion, but after the abortion, she has been experiencing abdominal pain. Later, she checked in the hospital, and the doctor recommended that she undergo a uterine clearance. Is it necessary to clear the residue of 16mm?Doctor's answer:
The remaining 16mm requires a uterine clearance. If not cleared, it may cause bleeding. Prolonged duration can lead to intrauterine infection. After a subsequent medication abortion, proper rest at home is necessary to prevent overexertion. It is important to avoid cold and not to consume spicy or irritating foods. Normal work and exercises can be resumed one month later. Diet must be nutritious, with an emphasis on vegetables and fruits. Pay attention to the hygiene of the vaginal area, and avoid sexual activity within the first month.
