What should I do if I find out the baby has stopped developing during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I am four months pregnant and have noticed that the baby has stopped growing. I had an abortion at the hospital, and the ultrasound results showed many remnants. The doctor suggested that I have a uterine clearance. The doctor said that it had been four days since the surgery and that it was risky to clear the uterus now, as it might injure the endometrium. He recommended that I come back for a follow-up check-up in two weeks. Now I have noticed milk discharge, and it's yellow. Is what the doctor said correct? What should I do now? What should I pay attention to?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description and the results of the MRI examination, at four months of pregnancy, the abortion has not yet led to the uterus returning to normal, and it remains soft. If a uterine curettage is performed, it is highly likely to cause uterine perforation. It is recommended that you take oral Xin Chua Neng Wan, Ding Kun Dan, and anesthetic oxytocin to help the remaining tissue shed and expel. If there is a significant amount of bleeding, you should go to the hospital and seek the expertise of a doctor to resolve the issue. You can also take postpartum lactation suppression medication to stop lactation or allow it to return naturally. Do not squeeze your breasts.
The above advice is for the question "I am four months pregnant and have noticed that the baby has stopped growing." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
