Patient's question:
On October 18, 2018, after undergoing a D&C procedure following an induced abortion, I started taking the progestin-only contraceptive pill UPA. Three days later, I began experiencing light spotting, which gradually increased over the next week. I noticed pinkish, meaty being expelled, followed by dark green, viscous material. Additionally, there was a foul odor. Accompanying this was several hours of persistent, intense lower abdominal pain, which only eased when I squatted. The pain has lasted for a week and has worsened. What could be causing this?Doctor's answer:
This situation should be due to post-abortion complications, as recurrent inflammation with bacterial infection can lead to repeated occurrences of discharge or recurrent pain and discomfort. It is important to maintain hygiene and keep the area clean and dry to prevent irritation from spicy and stimulating foods. Drinking plenty of water is recommended, and appropriate medications such as Ginkgo biloba soft capsules can be used to assist in completely eliminating the inflammation and treating the condition.
