Patient's question:
31 years oldI had a medication-induced abortion on January 23. After that, from August, I had mild lower back and sacral pain, which I didn't pay much attention to. Now, I have lower back and sacral pain, but no pain in the lower abdomen, and occasional high fever.
My menstrual cycle is normal.
What illness do I have? Is it pelvic inflammatory disease or other gynecological conditions? Can it be cured completely? Will it affect future fertility?
Doctor's answer:
Within one week after the flow of people, the vagina will bleed, with the amount gradually decreasing and eventually stopping. The discharge will have no odor and is usually clean within two weeks. Some people may have a longer bleeding period, while others may only bleed for 2-3 days, or some may not bleed at all. All of these are normal. If the bleeding lasts more than 15 days, the amount of bleeding is greater than that of a menstrual period, especially if the discharge has a foul odor and is accompanied by symptoms such as fever and abdominal pain, it should be considered an infection or incomplete miscarriage. It is necessary to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for further tests such as ultrasound to preliminarily confirm the diagnosis.
