Patient's question:
I have a history of two medical abortions... and the second one failed. What should I do?Is it necessary to have a D&C? Are there any other methods besides D&C?
I would like to ask how long the D&C procedure takes, what are the potential aftereffects, and what aspects should be paid attention to after the procedure. Do most people who have had a D&C experience aftereffects? What is the probability of infertility or uterine inflammation after a D&C?
Thank you...
Doctor's answer:
Hello! The success rate of medication abortion is not 100%, and it can easily lead to incomplete medication abortion (medication abortion failure).Advice: If the gestational sac has not been expelled after taking the medication, it can be performed as a Dilation and Curettage (D&C). After the D&C, please pay attention to anti-inflammation, rest, and avoid sexual activity for one month to prevent postoperative infection. Wishing you good health!
In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any type of abortion can cause certain damage to a woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Patients who have had an abortion should take care of themselves, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
