Patient's question:
On April 8th, I had an abortion without anesthesia. On the 10th, there was no bleeding. My period came on May 10th and was mostly gone by the 15th. On the 17th, a follow-up ultrasound showed fluid in the uterine cavity and a very small amount of fluid in the Douglas pouch. Is it serious? What are the common causes? The doctor also ordered a blood test, and I'm awaiting the results.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is good to consider your recovery situation, but it cannot be ruled out that there may be mild inflammation. Hello! If the intrauterine fluid after an induced abortion is not much, it will not have a significant impact and can be absorbed gradually. However, if there is a lot of fluid, it must be treated. If the fluid is due to inflammation, it can be completely recovered through medication and other methods. This is possible to be related to infection, so it is recommended that you have a complete blood count test to check if there is an infection. Wish you health!
