Patient's question:
My wife had an abortion on March 17th. After that, she didn't notice any discomfort, but on April 17th, she felt unwell. We took a test strip and it showed a weak positive result. Every time we tested, it was weakly positive. During this period, she had two days of bleeding. The doctor said it could be an ectopic pregnancy or her menstrual period, because her period always comes on the 17th. The doctor asked us to do an ultrasound a week later. On the 27th, we went for the ultrasound, and the doctor said there were blood clots inside.Hello, was it because the previous abortion wasn't completely cleaned out or a natural miscarriage, given that she had two episodes of bleeding?
Hello, what should we do now? I want to know what we should do now. The doctor prescribed several medications to help expel the blood clots. Can they be expelled? Should we take the medicine? We don't want a D&C because we're afraid it will affect future fertility.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the blood does not flow out smoothly after the flow of people, and after a thorough examination, there are no symptoms of incomplete miscarriage, uterine perforation, or postoperative infection, it may be due to poor blood and qi circulation, leading to poor blood flow and blood stasis, which causes pain. In terms of medication, you can try Qianjin Yimu Granules. It is based on the single herb of motherwort and enhances the three herbs of Ligusticum chuanxiong, Euonymus alatus, and Poria cocos. It has the functions of invigorating blood, resolving blood stasis, promoting qi, and invigorating blood. It is particularly suitable for postpartum blood stasis abdominal pain and symptoms of poor blood stasis discharge.
