Patient's question:
Because I underwent medication-induced abortion, the miscarriage was not completely clean, and I had to undergo a D&C (dilation and curettage) procedure. I would like to ask what precautions should be taken after the D&C surgery, and whether it will affect future fertility?Doctor's answer:
1. On the day of surgery, there may be mild lower abdominal discomfort, pain, or a small amount of vaginal bleeding. If the abdominal pain is severe, the vaginal bleeding is heavy, or the bleeding does not stop for a long time, seek medical attention promptly.2. Within 2 weeks after surgery, rest appropriately, increase your intake of nutritious foods, and avoid heavy physical labor.
3. Pay attention to keeping the perineum clean. During vaginal bleeding, avoid taking baths and sexual activity.
4. Use contraception to prevent pregnancy again.
Generally, it has little impact on future fertility.
