Patient's question:
Medical Description: I have had an abortion for more than ten days, but there have been yellow discharge after the surgery. After examination, I was diagnosed with a fungal infection. The doctor prescribed me Clotrimazole vaginal tablets. Treatment history and effectiveness: Three days after taking the medication, there was very light red discharge mixed with yellow discharge. What help do I need: Is this a normal phenomenon? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, the best time for an abortion is usually between 5 weeks and 10 weeks of pregnancy, and it should not exceed 10 weeks. When the pregnancy is less than 5 weeks, the gestational sac is too small, which is not conducive to an abortion procedure. If the pregnancy exceeds 10 weeks, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) is often used to terminate the pregnancy between 11 and 14 weeks. When the pregnancy is beyond 14 weeks, an induction of labor is typically required, but ultimately, it depends on the size of the gestational sac.It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital for an examination to determine the exact time of your pregnancy and the condition of the gestational sac, so you can choose the appropriate time for an abortion. After an abortion, it is important to rest and avoid cold and spicy foods. Avoid sexual intercourse for the first month and maintain good personal hygiene to prevent any impact on your future fertility.
If you do not have immediate plans to have children, it is advisable to have intercourse during a safe period or take necessary precautions during intercourse.
