Patient's question:
I had a medication abortion on the 28th of last month, but after it, I've been bleeding continuously. Although the amount has decreased now, there are still blood clots coming out. Do I need to have a D&C (dilation and curettage) surgery? And do I need to have any tests before the procedure, such as an ultrasound or blood tests? If so, which tests are required?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation is a symptom of incomplete medication abortion. You should have a follow-up ultrasound to check the condition of residual tissue in the uterine cavity, and then treat accordingly based on the examination results. It is recommended to avoid sexual activity and for one month after medication abortion to prevent infection and gynecological inflammation. Regular follow-up is advised.
