Patient's question:
After a painless abortion, careful examination revealed pelvic effusion. Is this normal? What medication should be taken?Doctor's answer:
According to the patient's description, the post-abortion follow-up ultrasound shows pelvic effusion, which is likely caused by inflammatory exudation. If the effusion is not significant and there are no discomforts, it can be observed carefully first. It is recommended that the patient pay attention to rest and maintain hygiene. Sexual activity should be avoided for one month after the abortion, as the patient is waiting for their menstrual period. Follow medical advice to use anti-inflammatory drugs and herbs like Motherwort Granules to promote recovery. If necessary, a follow-up ultrasound and blood HCG test may be scheduled in about a week to assess the recovery status. For the patient, if the pelvic effusion condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be initiated.
