Patient's question:
I had a medication abortion the day after and had a D&C procedure about 20 days ago. I've been experiencing gray discharge, which only occurs when I go to the bathroom, and sometimes also have white discharge. What could be the reason? I don't feel any discomfort. Is it because it wasn't completely cleared out?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the yellow discharge that appeared after the D&C procedure is primarily due to inflammation and infection, which requires proper anti-inflammatory treatment. During this period, you should use metronidazole suppositories in combination with a cleansing solution for cleaning. It is not advisable to engage in sexual activity during this time. In fact, under normal circumstances, any form of induced abortion can cause certain harm to women. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. Patients undergoing induced abortion should focus on self-care, such as dietary regulation, maintaining warmth, and avoiding exposure to cold.
