Patient's question:
21 days of medication abortion, bleeding stopped after 8 days, followed by the reappearance of discharge. On days 4, 5, and 6, I experienced three nights of fever and sweating all over. On the 7th, I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, where a 0.6 cm fetal pole was found, but no inflammation was mentioned. What kind of help is needed: Is it necessary to have a D&C procedure?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description of symptoms, it is likely that you are experiencing fever and sweating due to residual material. You should still have an uterine clearance as soon as possible to avoid potential uterine infection if left untreated for too long. Symptoms should alleviate after the procedure.Recommendation: I suggest you go to the hospital for uterine clearance. In your case, oral blood-activating and blood-stasis-dispelling medications are not very effective. Early clearance followed by a 5-7 day course of anti-inflammatory medication should be sufficient.
