Patient's question:
Can acupuncture be used for induced abortion? First question supplement: Hospitals now offer a visual painless induced abortion. I would like to ask, what is the principle behind this? Will it reduce the chance of incomplete abortion?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Generally, vaginal bleeding after an abortion occurs for about a week. If the bleeding lasts for 10 days, it may be possible that the abortion is incomplete or uterine contractions are poor. It is recommended to have a follow-up ultrasound at the hospital. If there are residual tissues, it is advisable to undergo a uterine evacuation. If there are no residual tissues, you can use oxytocin or motherwort. After an abortion, it is best to avoid spicy foods like chili peppers. Alcohol, vinegar, pepper, ginger, etc., should also be avoided. It is important to rest well.
