Patient's question:
My sister was three months pregnant and had a prenatal check-up. The doctor said the embryo had stopped developing. I want to ask, what kind of surgery is done after fetal demise?Doctor's answer:
At three months pregnant, due to the issue of fetal demise, it is necessary to have an early pregnancy termination as soon as possible. Generally, a D&C (dilation and curettage) surgery is performed. During the surgery, it is also important to thoroughly investigate the cause of the fetal demise to prevent such issues from recurring in the future. After the D&C, it is essential to properly rest and recover. No sexual activity should be engaged in for at least one month. If you wish to conceive again, it is recommended to wait at least one year.
