Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:Treated on October 31st with medication, followed by the expulsion of something; then continuous bleeding until now. On November 23rd, an ultrasound revealed incomplete medication-induced abortion, leading to a D&C procedure and further medication. Since then, persistent dizziness, abdominal pain, and lower back pain have occurred, which are quite severe.
The doctor mentioned it might be inflammation but did not specify the type. Now, I am particularly worried it could be uterine inflammation, affecting future fertility.
I would like to ask the doctor and everyone: What kind of issue does my friend's condition fall under? Is it uterine inflammation, and could it affect future fertility?
Doctor's answer:
Generally, there is bleeding after a D&C procedure, which is a normal phenomenon. However, if proper care is not taken, excessive or prolonged bleeding can increase the risk of women contracting gynecological infections, affect work and study, and bring unnecessary trouble to women.1. Rest is important after the procedure. Generally, it is recommended to rest for 3-5 days.
2. In terms of hygiene, it is essential to maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia after the surgery. Abstinence from sexual intercourse is advised for one month, and (bathing in a tub) should be avoided for half a month to prevent bacterial invasion and infection.
3. Take measures to stay warm. Avoid contact with cold water. Have you noticed that you tend to sweat more after the surgery, especially when eating? When sweating, do not expose yourself to cold drafts, and do not immediately change into cold clothes. Allow yourself to sweat naturally.
4. Avoid heavy physical labor and strenuous activities for the first half a month after the surgery.
5. After the surgery, as long as you pay a bit more attention than usual, there is no need to blindly supplement nutrients. Ensure an adequate intake of protein to strengthen the body's resistance to disease and promote the early healing of injured organs.
