Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I am 25 years old. Last time I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend without using contraception, which resulted in me getting pregnant. Last week, I had a miscarriage through a D&C procedure. However, on the fifth day, my bleeding suddenly increased significantly. I wanted to ask you if it is normal for the bleeding to keep increasing five days after a D&C?Doctor's answer:
If a few days after a miscarriage and D&C, uterine contractions may cause lower abdominal pain. This can lead to increased uterine contractions, promoting the expulsion of intrauterine blood clots and resulting in a gradual increase in bleeding volume. This is a normal phenomenon.Afterward, the bleeding will gradually decrease, and it should not exceed two weeks. If it lasts less than two weeks, a follow-up ultrasound is necessary to rule out retained products of conception, poor uterine involution, or intrauterine infection. You can focus on taking Yimucao Granules, Chongneng Pills, and Xin Chongneng Granules for symptomatic relief.
