Patient's question:
My colleague is 26 years old this year. She got pregnant recently, but her health has not been good, so she has been staying at home to rest. Later, she still lost the baby. The hospital recommended an abortion procedure, but it is said that after the procedure, a uterine scraping will be necessary. If a uterine scraping is done, it will be difficult to get pregnant this year. I want to ask if it is possible to have an abortion without a uterine scraping?Doctor's answer:
The commonly referred to abortion surgery is the negative pressure aspiration abortion, also known as Dilation and Curettage (D&C). Abortion surgery is a traumatic procedure that may cause varying degrees of damage to the endometrium. After undergoing an abortion surgery, it is necessary to rest and recuperate for a period of time. At least, pregnancy should be avoided for three months, and it is best to consider pregnancy after a year. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
