Patient's question:
I am 28 weeks pregnant with my second child. Yesterday, my mother-in-law asked a acquaintance to do an ultrasound, and they said it's a girl. Upon hearing this news, my mother-in-law was unhappy because her first child was also a girl, and she wanted a grandson. Under her guidance, she underwent an induced abortion surgery, and the doctor said she would need a uterine clearance. I would like to ask, why is uterine clearance necessary after an induced abortion?Doctor's answer:
After miscarriage, most pregnant women will have residual tissue in the uterus. In cases of minimal amounts, medication can be taken to help clear it, such as Xuefu Zhuyu Capsules or Yimucao Granules. If the amount of residual tissue is significant, a D&C (dilation and curettage) surgery may be necessary to remove it completely. If the remaining tissue is not cleared from the uterus in a timely manner, it can lead to inflammation and infection.In addition to treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and a positive mood. Only with a good mindset and adequate sleep can you recover quickly and return to health.
