Patient's question:
I have uterine fibroids measuring 67mm×45mm. I got pregnant and had a 45-day-old fetus removed via hysteroscopic computer-assisted D&ER at the hospital, as they said it was more precise! The procedure was done on the 28th, and it has been 15 days. I have already been off work for a week during this time, but the bleeding has been continuous and insufficient. Yesterday, I had a transvaginal ultrasound, which showed residual tissue or blood that hadn't been completely expelled. They prescribed medication for 3 days and said to wait and see. I would like to ask you, if the D&ER wasn't done cleanly, what would be the symptoms? What conditions indicate this? I hope the doctor can clarify this. Thank you all for helping to resolve this matter!Doctor's answer:
Having uterine fibroids can interfere with uterine contractions. After an abortion, it has been so many days, and the continuous leakage of broken skin and these conditions are all related. This situation can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine such as Xinchuangneng Granules or Shaofu Zhuyu Capsules to assist in the discharge of blood clots. If the broken skin is excessive and the abdominal pain is severe, it may be necessary to have a re-hysterotomy. Additionally, during the treatment of uterine fibroids, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient should pay close attention to their diet and eat more light foods.
