Patient's question:
A few days ago, after getting pregnant, I went to the hospital for an abortion. It wasn't done cleanly. I want to ask if a miscarriage that isn't completely cleaned out will lead to menstruation?Doctor's answer:
If vaginal bleeding occurs after childbirth and lasts for less than two weeks, a follow-up ultrasound is necessary to rule out the possibility of intrauterine residue. Under normal circumstances, even if there is intrauterine residue, menstruation will still occur. If the residue is not significant, it will be expelled along with menstrual blood. However, the bleeding period will be relatively longer, and the amount of blood will be greater. In this case, you can wait for three to seven days after menstruation before undergoing a follow-up examination. If residual tissue is still present after the follow-up, and the amount of residue is substantial, a combination of uterine aspiration treatment is required.
