Patient's question:
It's been 9 days since the medication abortion, and besides the bleeding, I had an ultrasound done. The ultrasound showed the uterus is in an anterior position, normal size, with no gestational sac seen inside. There were also some strong echoes in the form of patches, measuring 0.8 cm thick. Does this mean it's not completely cleared out? I've been taking Motherwort (), and there are still residual materials coming out. Should I wait a few more days? Will it be completely cleared out? What should I do? What kind of assistance would you recommend: Should I wait a few more days, or should I consider a D&C procedure?Doctor's answer:
The skin will heal and be clean after about a week. Clinically, it is also evident that a small portion of people may take about half a month to heal due to insufficient uterine contraction strength. It is recommended that you focus on taking the medication. The residual area in your uterine cavity is not large, and motherwort can enhance uterine contraction and expel the residual tissue. A follow-up ultrasound should be performed one week later. Considering incomplete miscarriage, it is recommended to undergo a D&C procedure as soon as possible. Postoperatively, antibiotics should be used for anti-inflammatory treatment, and sexual activity should be avoided for one month.
