What is the situation after taking medication for a miscarriage and having a persistent fever?

Patient's question:

I chose medication abortion because I myself didn't want to have any more children. I already had a daughter and didn't plan on having another. I got pregnant accidentally, so I made a decisive decision to have medication abortion. The key issue is that I've been having a fever for several days afterward. What could be the reason for fever after medication abortion?

Doctor's answer:

I originally had a baby, but I didn't plan to keep it. Due to an unexpected pregnancy, I chose medication abortion. After the medication abortion, I experienced fever. In this case, don't take it lightly. If there is excessive vaginal bleeding accompanied by fever after medication abortion, it could be due to an infection. In such cases, it is necessary to go to the hospital promptly for gynecological examinations and color Doppler ultrasound to check the amount of residual tissue in the uterine cavity. If there is a significant amount, it is important to undergo a clearing surgery. Otherwise, the symptoms of infection will become increasingly severe.
