Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Please ask, after taking medication for an abortion, I had a D&C procedure. Since then, there has been a small amount of blood flowing every day for 10 days, and then it stopped. Three days later, there was a little blood again. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Hello! This also belongs to the condition of postpartum lochia prolongation. It is often accompanied by abdominal pain, edema, and poor appetite. In some cases, there may be excessive clots of blood with a foul odor. This condition is commonly caused by uterine contractions due to oral medication-induced abortion, incomplete curettage, retained placenta, or incomplete abortion. Typically, Shenghua Decoction (pills) should be taken first. If it is ineffective, gynecological treatment corresponding to the symptoms should be administered (repeat surgical curettage or herbal medicine treatment tailored to the specific condition).
