Patient's question:
My girlfriend accidentally got pregnant with a baby, and now she is going to have an abortion. Hello, is it necessary to clear the uterine cavity after a natural miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
After a natural miscarriage, there is no need for a D&C; treatment should be chosen based on the subsequent condition. After the gestational sac is expelled in a natural miscarriage, normal vaginal bleeding should occur within about one week, with only a very small amount of bleeding. If the bleeding starts before one week or if there is persistent brown discharge, a follow-up ultrasound should be conducted to check for retained tissue in the uterine cavity. If there is a significant amount of retained tissue, a D&C treatment is necessary. If the retained tissue is not substantial, no D&C treatment is required.
