Patient's question:
Doctor, I did a medication abortion myself about a week ago and have been resting and recuperating at home ever since. Unexpectedly, now after 12 days, there is still skin peeling. I would like to ask the doctor what should be done if there is skin peeling 12 days after a medication abortion, and a thorough examination reveals remaining tissue?Doctor's answer:
After taking medication for 12 days, besides peeling, this condition is caused by residual tissue in the uterus. It is better to go to the hospital for timely uterine clearance. Residual tissue in the uterus can affect uterine contraction and cause irregular vaginal bleeding. If the bleeding lasts for a long time, it may lead to reproductive tract infections. If the residual tissue is small, you can also take postpartum blood-stagnation-reducing medication to promote the discharge of residual tissue. Always maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia. Sexual activity should be avoided within half a month after medication.
