What should I do if there is still residual tissue after medication abortion and D&C?

Patient's question:

I have been on medication for 13 days. On the third day after taking the medication, I had a D&C procedure. However, today when I went for an ultrasound check, the doctor said there is a 0.3mm blood clot near the cervix in the uterus. Could you please advise if I need another D&C procedure? What is this blood clot? If it hasn't fallen out, does it mean the pregnancy is still continuing? Can medication solve this? What kind of medication should I take? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if there is residual tissue after a miscarriage, it is generally necessary to wait for a week before undergoing a uterine aspiration. During this period, if you take blood-activating medication, it may help clear the residual tissue. You can take a large amount of Motherwort granules and consume them for several days; this usually helps. If it doesn’t work, you can consider another uterine aspiration procedure. It is recommended to wait for a week before having a follow-up examination to check the condition of the uterine cavity. This way, a second aspiration can be performed. After the surgery, pay close attention to your diet—avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink plenty of warm water, and eat more light meals to avoid catching a cold.
