Patient's question:
Doctor, I finally managed to conceive with my husband this year, so I took great care of my pregnancy. However, in the third month of pregnancy, I had a miscarriage due to an accident. Three days after the D&C surgery at the hospital, I started experiencing slight bleeding from my vagina, accompanied by pain. What could be happening? I want to know which symptoms after a miscarriage are considered normal?Doctor's answer:
About one week after a miscarriage surgery, there may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding and mild abdominal pain. If the amount of vaginal bleeding is excessive or the duration is too long, it is abnormal and requires a thorough examination with color Doppler ultrasound to rule out retained products of conception in the uterine cavity. When a miscarriage is incomplete and results in retained products in the uterine cavity, it can easily lead to prolonged bleeding. The treatment should be determined based on the examination results: if there are more retained products, a uterine evacuation may be necessary; if there are fewer retained products, oral medication can be administered.
