Patient's question:
Female, 28 years old, used medication for miscarriage, but after the miscarriage, she has been experiencing abdominal pain. Later, she checked in the hospital, and the doctor recommended that she undergo a uterine clearance. How long after the uterine clearance will the endometrium be uniform?Doctor's answer:
After medication abortion, the endometrium typically returns to normal within about a month. This is because the endocrine system also undergoes changes after medication abortion. The estrogen and progesterone hormones secreted in the body re-regulate the thickness of the endometrium. After a D&C procedure, it is important to rest and avoid overexertion to prevent affecting the nearby uterus. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited for one month to prevent a recurrence of retrograde transmission. Immediate surgical evacuation is necessary, as medication cannot expel the tissue.
