Patient's question:
After taking the medication for one week, I had a D&C procedure. After the D&C, my bleeding didn't stop completely for a week, but it was very light. However, I missed taking the birth control pill you prescribed at night, and my bleeding increased. I took it later in the day, but the bleeding is still ongoing. Since I went home for vacation, I asked the doctor here, and they said I didn't take the pill the next day. Now I don't know whether I should continue taking it or stop.Doctor's answer:
The reasons for bleeding may include the following possibilities: first, there may be infections such as inflammation or erosion in the cervix; second, there may be damage to the endometrium that has not fully recovered; or both may exist simultaneously. It is recommended to undergo appropriate examinations based on your own situation. If this persists for a long time, it can lead to anemia and increase the likelihood of infection. In fact, under normal circumstances, any method of abortion can cause certain harm to women. Therefore, patients should pay attention to their diet. Patients who have undergone an abortion should take care of themselves, such as adjusting their diet, paying attention to warmth, and avoiding getting cold.
