Patient's question:
I had an abortion a month ago, and I haven't had any bleeding for two weeks. A B showed that the uterine cavity is about 0.2 cm apart. I have been taking anti-inflammatory medication and motherwort. Since yesterday, my abdomen has been hurting in waves, but there is no bleeding. Is this normal? Can I wait a few more days before going to the hospital for a check-up?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you have already had a month since your abortion surgery, and there has been no bleeding for two weeks. The ultrasound shows a separation of 0.2 cm in the uterine cavity, which may be caused by a small amount of blood accumulation. You have been taking anti-inflammatory medication and motherwort. It is recommended to stop both the anti-inflammatory medication and motherwort, as this medication is not suitable for long-term oral use. Since yesterday, you have been experiencing intermittent abdominal pain. The current abdominal pain may be caused by the anti-inflammatory medication and motherwort you have been taking recently. It could also be a symptom before your period. You can apply heat to your abdomen to reduce the pain and wait for two days. If the abdominal pain is still severe, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up.
