Patient's question:
Just got married for a year, my husband wants a child, but I don't want a child because I'm in a career. I got pregnant unexpectedly. I didn't want to endure the pain of an abortion, so I chose medication abortion. But I didn't expect that after medication abortion, I still need a uterine clearance. I want to ask the doctor if having a uterine clearance after medication abortion is harmful to the body?Doctor's answer:
Any form of miscarriage is harmful to the body. Especially a second D&C procedure, it inflicts a second injury on the uterus, making it easier to contract infections, and also carries the risk of recurrent miscarriage and infertility. It is recommended to rest after a D&C, avoid overexertion and sexual activity, pay attention to keeping the body warm, and avoid getting cold. Oral anti-inflammatory medication can be taken to prevent infections. Pay attention to dietary nutrition and increase protein intake to help the body recover as soon as possible.
