Patient's question:
I took a miscarriage pill in the early stages of pregnancy, but today I was told that the medication abortion was unsuccessful and that a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) is needed. Is the D&C procedure painful?Doctor's answer:
The medication abortion was not successful. If a D&C is performed, there will be some pain, but it is manageable. It is best to have regular ultrasound examinations. If the miscarriage is incomplete, it is recommended to undergo a D&C promptly. Additionally, oral antibiotics should be taken to prevent intrauterine infection. It is advisable to drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid staying up late. Overexertion and sexual activity should also be avoided. Under certain conditions, it is possible to choose a large hospital for a painless D&C. During the procedure, there will be no pain, mainly depending on the conditions of the hospital.
