After and pelvic effusion surgery, what should be paid attention to?

Patient's question:

The people who did the surgery for uterine and pelvic effusion did an ultrasound on the sixth day and said it was normal with a little effusion. They took medicine for three days, and then came back with blood after half a month. Is it normal? No history of treatment or effectiveness: No. Is this situation normal?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, this is normal because there may be a small amount of residual fetal tissue after an abortion, which can cause vaginal bleeding.
Recommendation: Generally, after an abortion, bleeding should subside within 10 days, which is considered normal. If bleeding persists for less than 10 days or the amount of bleeding is excessive, this may indicate a larger amount of residual fetal tissue, along with poor uterine contraction, leading to vaginal bleeding.
In your current situation, it is recommended to carefully observe for one week. If bleeding remains excessive after one week, you should undergo another ultrasound examination. If a significant amount of residual fetal tissue is detected, further treatment such as a D&C (dilation and curettage) may be necessary.
