Patient's question:
I had a cesarean section last July, and now I am seven weeks pregnant. When I went to the hospital, the doctor said that I could only have a medication abortion. Moreover, after a thorough examination, it was found that the placenta was too small, measuring 3mm x 2mm. The doctor asked me to wait for another week for a follow-up examination.After the medication abortion, if it is not completely cleaned, can I have a uterine aspiration? Will it cause harm to the uterus? What should I do if I get pregnant again after a cesarean section nine months later?
Doctor's answer:
After a cesarean section, I got pregnant again after nine months and want to terminate the pregnancy. If it's within 49 days, the safest option is medication abortion. If you choose surgical abortion or painless abortion, it may easily cause the uterine incision to open. If the uterine cavity is not completely cleared, a second dilation and curettage (D&C) surgery may be required. Abnormal vaginal discharge indicates bacterial infection, so it's recommended to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.There are several treatment methods for cesarean section, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach will differ accordingly. Therefore, it is advised that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
