Patient's question:
I had a minor surgical procedure called a D&C a few days ago and have been resting at home recently. However, my friend mentioned that a thorough check-up is still needed. I thought about it for a long time and realized it's probably a good idea to get checked again, but I'm not sure what kind of tests should be done. So, I'm asking what kind of check-up I should have?Doctor's answer:
Underwent a minor uterine curettage procedure. You can have a follow-up ultrasound at a local hospital one week after the surgery to check for any residual tissue or blood clots in the uterine cavity. At the same time, you need to carefully monitor your vaginal bleeding. If the bleeding volume is not excessive and stops within one week, it is generally not a serious issue, so there is no need to worry too much. You should pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion or overtime work, and can use antibiotics to prevent inflammation or infection.
