Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I had an abortion in September 2005 and also had a D&C procedure. The doctor said my uterus is slightly enlarged. I would like to ask if this will affect future fertility? Can I still get pregnant? Are there any methods to address an enlarged uterus?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described, a post-abortion ultrasound check-up one month later indicated that the uterus is slightly enlarged. If it's a late-term abortion, the uterus typically needs about three months to fully recover. In your case, it's possible that the uterus hasn't fully healed yet. If you experience increased menstrual bleeding after the abortion, you can receive oxytocin injections, which can promote uterine contractions and help the uterus recover more quickly, as well as stop bleeding. I hope my advice can help you.After the surgery, it's recommended to rest and avoid overexertion. Do not stay up late, clean the external genital area daily to maintain cleanliness, avoid tub baths for two weeks, but you can take showers. Avoid sexual activity for one month to prevent bacterial infections. Eat nutritious foods and avoid cold, raw, and spicy foods.
