Patient's question:
I have had multiple medication-induced abortions. I have a history of habitual miscarriages during pregnancy. I have read that the principle of medication-induced abortion involves the drug affecting progesterone. Is the progesterone referred to here luteinizing hormone? The doctor suspects that I am lacking in progesterone. I want to know how to resolve the side effects of medication-induced abortion. If I am lacking in progesterone, luteinizing hormone, or progesterone, how should I be tested and treated before pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
1. After the tissue is expelled, you need to stay in the hospital for observation for 1 hour. If the vaginal bleeding is not significant, you can go home and rest.2. Rest appropriately within 2 weeks after the abortion, eat nutritious foods, and avoid heavy physical labor.
3. Pay attention to keeping the perineum clean. Avoid tub baths and sexual activity until the vaginal bleeding has stopped.
4. In the first 2 to 3 days after the abortion, the amount of vaginal bleeding is usually equivalent to or slightly more than the menstrual flow. If the vaginal bleeding is heavy or persists, seek medical attention promptly.
5. If no tissue is expelled, observe for 2 weeks after medication. During this period, pay attention to whether any tissue is expelled when urinating or defecating. Send urine samples weekly for pregnancy tests.
6. Ovulation may resume quickly after the abortion, so take contraceptive measures to avoid pregnancy again.
