Patient's question:
It's the twelfth day after the miscarriage. The bleeding has become very light, almost non-existent. I'm worried about something, so I went for an ultrasound. The ultrasound results were normal. In the evening, I had some itching outside my vagina. I rinsed the itchy area with warm water. Will there be an infection?Doctor's answer:
During the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, post-abortion lochia is generally similar in duration to normal childbirth. If the bleeding is initially light but then increases in amount and duration, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. An ultrasound examination should be performed to assess the healing of the endometrium within the uterine cavity and to check for any retained placenta or fetal membranes. Timely symptomatic treatment should be administered.In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any form of abortion will have some impact on the patient. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. Post-abortion patients should focus on self-care measures, such as maintaining warmth and avoiding exposure to cold water.
