Patient's question:
Because I haven't planned to have children for now, after getting pregnant, we discussed and decided to have an abortion. However, after the procedure, my abdomen has been constantly in pain. I thought it might be because the surgery wasn't successful and left some kind of aftereffect, so I went for a follow-up check. The result showed that there was blood accumulation in the uterus after the abortion. What should I do now?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion procedure, severe abdominal pain occurs, and a magnetic resonance examination reveals blood accumulation in the uterine cavity. This situation is generally considered to be caused by uterine adhesion or cervical adhesion resulting from the abortion procedure, which prevents the blood from being expelled from the uterine cavity. It is recommended to undergo routine examinations. If the cause is cervical adhesion, a dilator can be used to open the cervical canal to allow the blood to be expelled. If the cause is uterine adhesion, surgical treatment may need to be considered.
