Patient's question:
On November 25th, I had an abortion. Today is December 24th, and it's almost a month since then. In this past month, I haven't felt any abnormalities, but today I have a slight, dull pain on the left side of my abdomen. Is it serious? Also, during this period, I had sex with my husband once. Do I need to go to the hospital for a follow-up check? What should I get checked? What time is the best to go for the check-up? Also, my period hasn't arrived yet. I'm really anxious. Is it possible for me to get pregnant again? I measured my temperature this morning, and it was 36.5. What could be the reason? How much longer will it take for my period to come?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, it is necessary to have a follow-up check-up at the hospital about half a month after an abortion procedure. The main items for the check-up include ultrasound and gynecological examinations. The ultrasound is primarily used to check the condition of the uterine cavity. If there are no residual tissue fragments in the uterine cavity.In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any type of abortion will cause some damage to the patient. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Patients undergoing an abortion should take care of themselves, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
