Patient's question:
After the procedure, there was no longer any bleeding, but suddenly there was a bit of blood again. It has been half a month since the procedure. I had sexual intercourse while there was some bleeding. Now, I am bleeding again. What should I do? I also ate some spicy food and ice cream.Doctor's answer:
After an abortion procedure, whether it is a surgical abortion or medication abortion, a vaginal ultrasound examination should be performed on the 7th day post-surgery to check for any residual tissue in the uterine cavity. If residual tissue is found, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) should be performed promptly. If there is residual tissue in the uterine cavity, it is prone to cause repeated vaginal bleeding. Additionally, if the uterus does not contract effectively on its own, it may also lead to residual tissue in the uterine cavity. Chinese herbal medicine can be considered to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, thereby aiding uterine contraction.
