Patient's question:
Doctor, my girlfriend accidentally got pregnant. Because we don't have the ability to support a child right now, we went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said there's a possibility of twins. One of them was very small and didn't have a gestational sac. Then we had an abortion under anesthesia. It's been a month now, and I've been training outside with no time to do a follow-up check-up. Now I feel my stomach is a bit bigger. Is there a possibility that it wasn't completely cleared? What are the symptoms if it's not completely cleared? Also, if it's not completely cleared now and I have a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) surgery, would it be too late?Doctor's answer:
I had a visual painless abortion after getting pregnant. The possibility of residual tissue in the uterine cavity after a visual painless abortion is not high. Now that it has been a month postpartum, I am experiencing severe lower abdominal pain, which might be because my period is about to start. If the procedure is not completely clean, there may be continuous vaginal bleeding. Rest and pay attention to nutrition. You can drink more ginger and brown sugar water and eat more foods that boost qi. If the abdominal pain is severe, you can have an ultrasound examination to check the thickness of the endometrium.
