Patient's question:
I had a medication abortion on November 10th. After 12 days, I still had bleeding, so I went to the nearby hospital for a thorough ultrasound check. They found a little residual tissue and pelvic inflammation, suggesting I use medication to see if it could be expelled. Later, I received intravenous drips for 8 days, and the bleeding stopped for about 3 days before it returned.Hello, is this period-like bleeding? What kind of assistance do you need: If it’s not completely expelled, how much would a D&C procedure cost? Why did the ultrasound say everything was fine, yet I still had bleeding afterward?
Doctor's answer:
Your bleeding is not your menstrual period, because menstruation cannot return so completely so early. It is still a case of incomplete miscarriage. The ultrasound is not effective, and it's hard to see clearly. I suggest you get a color Doppler ultrasound done. If there is residual tissue, it is best to have a uterine aspiration. Otherwise, if the time has been so long, it will damage the endometrium and may lead to infection. If it's not completely passed, the uterine aspiration will cost about 400 yuan. I recommend a follow-up ultrasound. If it still suggests residual tissue, you must have a uterine aspiration as soon as possible. After the procedure, use antibiotics for anti-inflammatory treatment, and avoid sexual activity for one month.
