Patient's question:
Medication abortion was successful. After a seven-day follow-up test, there was still 3 milliliters of discharge. I started taking metformin ten days ago, and my period has already returned to normal. Today, on the 20th day, my vaginal discharge is normal, and I feel a sense of tightness in my lower abdomen when I urinate, defecate, or pass gas. Is this situation likely to happen again?Doctor's answer:
If you are experiencing an increase in leukorrhea after 20 days, it could be normal with some stringy discharge, possibly indicating ovulation. If the leukorrhea is slightly more during ovulation, that is also normal. If you have abdominal pain, you can apply local cold compresses to see if it helps relieve the discomfort. If the leukorrhea is excessive and yellow with abnormalities, it is recommended to visit a hospital for further examination to check for vaginal infections. Based on the examination results, medication can be prescribed for treatment. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
