Help Needed: What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the ultrasound confirms there is still residue, it needs to be cleared. Otherwise, it may lead to severe bleeding. During a cesarean delivery, it is easy for placental tissue residue to occur, resulting in prolonged vaginal bleeding. Only a uterine clearance can provide a complete cure. If the ultrasound shows there is indeed residue, it is recommended that you have the uterine clearance as soon as possible. If the residue calcifies in the uterine cavity, it will make the clearance more difficult. If you have a postpartum check-up after a cesarean section and are told there is residue in the uterine cavity, you can only follow the doctor's advice to have a D&C. You can also go to a better hospital for further examination.
