Can a D&C be performed after medication abortion?

Patient's question:

A month ago, I had a medication abortion. The bleeding was intermittent until it completely stopped after eleven days. I didn't experience any discomfort.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, considering the residual, an ultrasound examination can help with diagnosis. If residual is found and it is small in size, it can be treated with Motherwort ointment and anti-inflammatory drugs. For larger residues, medication may not be effective, and a uterine clearance procedure can be considered. Post-surgery, it is important to maintain hygiene in the perineal area and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any form of abortion can cause certain harm to the patient. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Abortion patients should take care of themselves, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
