How should the infection of the uterus with blood clots be treated?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. I didn't know I was pregnant, and because of illness, I took many medications that were harmful to the fetus. So, out of desperation, I decided to have an abortion. But after the abortion, there was some infection, and blood clots remained in the uterus. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

If there is a recurrence of bleeding after the crowd, and the amount continues to increase, a re-examination of MRI shows residual tissue in the uterus, a D&C procedure may be necessary. If there are only blood clots in the uterine cavity accompanied by fever and abdominal pain, antibiotics should be administered to prevent infection. Currently, the probability of medication causing fetal defects is very low. It is recommended that both partners undergo comprehensive pre-pregnancy and pre-natal examinations before the next pregnancy. After conception, it is advisable to establish prenatal records as soon as possible. If any medications that may affect the fetus have been used, it is recommended to consult with a prenatal diagnosis clinic in a regular hospital for genetic counseling to determine the fate of the fetus.
