Patient's question:
Today after taking the medication, I used the gestational sac. My sisters said I still need to have a D&C. I don't quite understand. Doctor, do I still need a D&C after the gestational sac is expelled with medication?Doctor's answer:
The success rate of oral medication for miscarriage is approximately 85% or higher. Once the gestational sac is observed to be expelled, the cervix is usually not severely damaged, and a second D&C procedure is generally not required. A follow-up MRI check after one week is sufficient to ensure no residual tissue remains. In cases of minimal residual tissue, oral herbs that promote blood circulation and reduce stagnation can be taken under medical guidance to aid in uterine recovery. Rest well, avoid overexertion, and refrain from consuming extremely cold, spicy, or irritating foods.
