Patient's question:
I took medication for an abortion on January 16th and had intercourse on January 31st. Now I've tested positive for pregnancy and there's blood—could this be a sign of a miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
In your current condition, it could be incomplete miscarriage. Or it may be related to incomplete hormonal recovery. You need to go to the hospital for a check-up to see how complete the miscarriage is. If there are excessive residual tissues, you need to have a D&C procedure promptly to resolve it. It is recommended that if you are not planning to get pregnant, you should take proper contraceptive measures to prevent accidental pregnancy. Frequent miscarriages can be harmful to your body and the endometrium. Condoms, breastfeeding, or contraception after menstruation are relatively safe options.Regarding your inquiry: Currently, a urine early pregnancy test is not clinically significant. Within 29 days after a miscarriage, the hCG levels may not fully recover, so it cannot confirm whether the miscarriage was complete.
