Does embryonic arrest require an abortion?

Patient's question:

Female, 36, good physical condition
Continuous bleeding

Doctor's answer:

After embryonic arrest, a D&C (dilation and curettage) is generally required to be performed as early as possible to prevent the occurrence of incomplete miscarriage leading to severe bleeding. Generally, after a D&C, only anti-inflammatory treatment and promoting the discharge of uterine blood clots are necessary. Other treatments are unnecessary.
In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any form of abortion can cause certain harm to the patient. Therefore, the patient should pay attention to their diet. Post-abortion patients should focus on self-care, such as proper dietary adjustment and maintaining warmth to avoid catching a cold.
