Patient's question:
Doctor, hello!Detailed medical history and consultation purpose: About ten days ago, I had a medication-induced abortion, but it was incomplete. Two days ago, I underwent a D&C procedure. However, I am still experiencing vaginal bleeding, which is bright red, along with symptoms of nausea and lower back pain. Could you please tell me if this D&C was thorough or if there are other reasons for the bleeding? Thank you.
Medical history: I have previously had vaginitis, mild cervical erosion, and urethritis.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering you may have incomplete miscarriage. When vaginal bleeding exceeds 7 days, antibiotics should be taken under the guidance of a doctor to prevent infection. If bleeding persists for more than two weeks without stopping, you should go to the hospital to identify the cause, and a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) may be necessary if needed. Anyone who undergoes a D&C due to failed medication abortion, incomplete miscarriage, or heavy bleeding must take antibiotics postoperatively. After medication abortion, it is also important to rest and avoid overexertion.You can take herbs like Motherwort ointment to promote uterine contraction, expel fetal tissue, reduce vaginal bleeding, and shorten the bleeding duration. Pay attention to dietary supplements. Consume more high-quality protein to enhance your physical condition, but avoid excessive greasy food to prevent it from hindering digestion.
