Patient's question:
On the 20th day of medication abortion, I feel like I always need to use the restroom with a slightly urgent need to urinate, and there's also some mild pain. Today, when I went to the restroom, a few drops of light pink blood came out. The ultrasound at the 10th day of medication abortion already showed that the abortion was clean. There was one instance of sexual intercourse without any break in the meantime. Why would this situation reappear now? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
According to the described symptoms, the patient currently has a urinary tract infection, which manifests as urgency, frequent urination, and dysuria. This may be related to the post-medical abortion procedure, a weakened immune system, and irregular vaginal bleeding. Currently, oral anti-inflammatory medication and increased fluid intake are recommended. If necessary, a urinalysis and blood test should be conducted at the hospital. During this period, the diet should be kept light for the time being, as overly greasy or spicy foods may further exacerbate the condition. Additionally, it is advisable not to stay up frequently and to maintain a regular lifestyle.
