Patient's question:
What is the reason for the blood clots and abdominal pain that started again on the third day morning after taking medication for a miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
You may experience mild lower back and abdominal pain after medication-induced abortion, which is normal. After taking medication for three days, it is possible that only the gestational sac has been expelled, while the decidua tissue has not been completely removed. You can take Yimucao (motherwort) and anti-inflammatory medication to promote uterine contraction and prevent infection. However, if you have persistent bleeding and abdominal pain for about ten days, it may indicate retained products of conception or poor uterine recovery. In such cases, you should visit a hospital for a transvaginal ultrasound examination. Based on the results, appropriate treatment should be administered, and if necessary, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure may be required.
