Patient's question:
Prohibited sexual activity. On July 15th, I had my period, which was normal in color, light in amount, and lasted about five days.On August 2nd, I noticed dark, almost black liquid in my underwear, which lasted for three or four days. The color remained dark throughout. By today, August 13th, I occasionally had very small amounts of dark liquid or light pink blood in my underwear. It’s definitely not the color of a normal period. Could there be a problem?
Medical history and treatment outcomes: My first period after an uncomplicated D&C (dilation and curettage) was normal, so I didn’t have an ultrasound follow-up. Now I’m very worried, fearing there might be an issue.
What help do I need: Is this related to the D&C? How can I resolve this? Do I need an ultrasound?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you mentioned, after the procedure, there may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding and symptoms such as abdominal pain. You can go to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound after ten days to check for any residual tissue in the uterus and assess the recovery of the uterus.Medical Analysis: Hello, the amount of bleeding after an abortion varies from person to person. It is important to pay attention to hygiene and monitor the situation.
Recommendation: It is considered that taking Motherwort Paste can help promote uterine contractions. It is recommended to avoid foods and to complete the follow-up check-up.
