Patient's question:
On January 28, 2019, I experienced natural miscarriage due to embryonic arrest. On that day, a color Doppler ultrasound showed 2.0 cm residual tissue. I was admitted to the hospital, but the doctor did not perform a D&C procedure. On January 30, a follow-up color Doppler ultrasound showed 1.2 cm residual tissue. I went home and started taking Xin Chao Neng Granules and Motherwort. On February 7, another follow-up color Doppler ultrasound revealed 4.80.9 cm residual tissue, which had not passed naturally. On February 9, I underwent a D&C procedure. Until today, I have been experiencing lower abdominal pain, and since January 30, there has been continuous vaginal bleeding. On February 3, I had a fever of 39°C. I have been taking Motherwort and oral antibiotics at home. What could be the cause? Is it possible that it is contagious?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to provide the service. Based on the description and the ultrasound findings, it appears to be an incomplete spontaneous abortion. I'm happy to assist you. From the description and the ultrasound results, it is an incomplete spontaneous abortion. Minimal vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain after Dilation and Curettage (D&C) are normal. A temperature of 39°C is also not a major concern. Rest more, pay attention to your diet. It will be fine in a couple of days. Additionally, for patients with embryonic arrest, their dietary condition and care during treatment are also crucial. Patients must take vitamins for digestion, prevent stomach issues, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above answers can help everyone.
