Patient's question:
I already have two children, and both were born via cesarean section. A week ago, a thorough examination revealed that I am pregnant again. I do not want an abortion, and I tried taking medication for a miscarriage, but since it wasn't completely effective, I had a D&C procedure. How long does it take for the bleeding to stop after a medication-induced miscarriage that wasn't complete and followed by a D&C?Doctor's answer:
You chose medication abortion, and again experienced incomplete miscarriage. Currently, you have undergone a D&C (dilation and curettage) treatment. The purpose of D&C is mainly to remove any residual tissue from the uterine cavity, and it can also scrape the endometrium. Therefore, the bleeding period after D&C is generally not more than one week. You need to pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion or staying up late. At the same time, you can use antibiotics to prevent the recurrence of inflammation and infection.
