Patient's question:
A week ago, I had a medication abortion at home. Now, my lochia is much more than expected. I would like to consult if it's okay to take traditional Chinese medicine after a medication abortion to remove any remaining tissue.Doctor's answer:
After medication abortion, if there is a recurrence of lochia that is significantly more than usual, a thorough ultrasound examination confirms incomplete miscarriage. It is generally necessary to promptly undergo examination and treatment. In most cases, residual tissue may require surgical uterine aspiration. Taking oral Chinese medicine can also provide some benefits, but it does not guarantee complete recovery. It can be supplemented with treatments such as oral Yi Mu Cao Granules or Xin Chao Neng Granules.
