Patient's question:
On February 16, the medication abortion didn't work, and on the 25th, another D&C was performed. Ten days after the procedure, an ultrasound showed a 1.1×0.6cm hyperechoic area on the left side of the uterine cavity. What could be the reason? What kind of help do you need: You want to know what caused the echoes in the uterus and how to resolve it.Doctor's answer:
Hello, there is still a possibility of retained products of conception in your case. You can temporarily take Motherwort or Xin Sheng Huo Granules to promote the expulsion of the retained tissue. Generally, residual tissue less than 1 cm in size, if it stops bleeding, can be expelled with the next menstrual period.Recommendations: After a miscarriage, you should rest for 2 weeks, maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the external genital area, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and eat more nutrient-rich foods to help your body recover quickly. Before your next menstrual period, sexual activity, soaking in baths, vaginal douching, and medication should be strictly prohibited. This is because the cervix is relaxed, the endometrium is shedding, and the local defense mechanism is weakened, making it easy to cause retrograde infection and lead to conditions such as endometritis, adnexitis, and other pelvic inflammatory diseases.
