Patient's question:
Medical Description: Took medication on August 4th, took the last dose on the 6th evening, and passed a blood clot the size of a finger. Days 2, 3, did not bleed, but days 4, 5, 6, and 7 had a lot of bleeding. What's going on?Past Treatment and Effects: Haven't had an ultrasound yet, taking Yimucao Granules and anti-inflammatory medication.
Desired Help: How many more days will it take for the medication abortion to heal? How long should I rest before resuming sexual activity?
Doctor's answer:
Within one month after a miscarriage, sexual activity, sitz baths, and vaginal medication should be avoided. Due to the shedding of the endometrium and the relaxation of the cervix after an induced abortion, there is a high risk of retrograde infection, which can lead to uterine cavity infection, adnexitis, and other pelvic diseases. Abnormal fetal eggs, endocrine disorders, placental dysfunction, blood type incompatibility, systemic diseases in the mother, excessive mental stress, genital organ malformations, and inflammation, as well as trauma, can all cause threatened miscarriage. It is recommended to identify the cause and treat accordingly, and consider conception again after six months. After an induced abortion, it is best to wait until the next menstrual period before resuming sexual activity. After medication-induced abortion, it is advisable to wait until the menstrual period returns normally before engaging in sexual activity. It is recommended that you pay attention to strengthening nutrition and resting without overexertion within two weeks after medication-induced abortion. It is recommended to have a follow-up ultrasound at the hospital 15 days after medication-induced abortion to check if the miscarriage is complete.
