Patient's question:
Hello doctor, a few weeks ago, one of my friends accidentally got pregnant, but she didn't want the child. After that, she went to the hospital for an abortion. However, after the procedure, she kept bleeding excessively. Although she has mostly recovered now, I still want to ask why this happened again?Doctor's answer:
If there is a recurrence of excessive blood flow after a miscarriage, the first consideration should be whether it is caused by residual tissue in the uterine cavity. If it is confirmed that there is no residual tissue, it may be due to menstrual irregularities caused by the miscarriage, indicating that the uterus has not fully recovered. In this case, active treatment is generally required. Therefore, you should first undergo an ultrasound examination to determine if there is any residual tissue. If residual tissue is present, a D&C (dilation and curettage) procedure may be necessary. If there is no residual tissue, medication and menstrual regulation treatment should be administered.
