Patient's question:
I went to the hospital a few days ago for an abortion with anesthesia. My friend told me I needed to get an anti-inflammatory shot, but I didn't. Will this have any impact?Hello doctor, is it necessary to take medicine for anti-inflammation after an abortion? Why is it necessary to get an anti-inflammatory shot?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, it generally requires intravenous infusion to administer anti-inflammatory treatment after an abortion procedure. This is because the abortion procedure itself is performed through a surgical method involving scraping the uterine cavity. During this process, surgical instruments are inserted into the uterus, which can easily lead to infections. Therefore, it is generally necessary to use intravenous infusion to provide anti-inflammatory treatment after the surgery.
