Patient's question:
Hello, I started taking medication for a medical abortion on the 5th of this month. Three days later, I had an ultrasound examination, and the doctor said it wasn't completely cleaned out and recommended a D&C procedure. They also asked me to take three days of anti-inflammatory injections, but I didn't. I only took some Amoxicillin for anti-inflammatory purposes. Three days later, I had a D&C surgery. Now, the doctor has again requested that I take three days of anti-inflammatory injections, and I followed through. However, I heard from others that it's best to take three to five days. Is this necessary? Can it be replaced with anti-inflammatory medication?This is my third miscarriage, and the intervals between them haven't been long. Could you please ask the doctor what I should do? Thank you.
In the hospital here, as long as you go for an abortion...
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you have had a medication-induced abortion and it hasn't been completely cleared, not undergoing a D&C or other treatments can easily lead to uterine infections, and there may also be a risk of severe bleeding. This is very dangerous. I suggest you go to the hospital to have a painless abortion to terminate the pregnancy. After the surgery, it's important to receive intravenous fluids and antibiotics promptly. Avoid eating cold, spicy, or raw foods, and do not engage in sexual activity too soon. At least wait for one month, and it's recommended to wait for at least 6 months before trying to conceive again after an abortion, as this will be beneficial for the recovery of your uterus.
