Patient's question:
I previously had a medication abortion, and now there is a residual 40mm. However, I do not want to have a D&C. Hello doctor, is there any other method besides a D&C for the 40mm residual from the medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
You have quite a bit of residue now, and medication may not be effective. Generally, if the residue is more than three centimeters, it is recommended to have a uterine clearance. Because the residue is relatively large and the cervix is quite tight, it may cause severe abdominal pain again, potentially leading to obstruction during expulsion or even heavy bleeding. I suggest you follow the advice of your follow-up doctor and have the uterine clearance as soon as possible. After the surgery, you can take anti-inflammatory medication to prevent infection. It is strictly forbidden to have sexual activity for one month. Also, avoid getting cold.
