Patient's question:
Before the miscarriage, only those who had a normal ultrasound examination before undergoing an induced abortion! The induced abortion examination showed no abnormal tissue in the uterus, and the urine test was negative. The color Doppler ultrasound showed everything was normal, with no abnormal signs! HCG 18.8! No abdominal pain or bleeding! Sometimes feeling nauseous, it has been 8 days since the miscarriage! Please ask the doctor if it is necessary to see the villi during a miscarriage, and whether I can rule out ectopic pregnancy!First follow-up question: But no villi were seen after the miscarriage. The doctor said it is still possible to rule out ectopic pregnancy. Is that correct?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the presence of hair-like tissue indicates that the procedure is mostly complete, but there may be a small amount of fetal membrane residue. It is recommended to continue monitoring. After the procedure, bleeding from the vagina will occur within one week, gradually decreasing from heavy to light and eventually stopping. The discharge will have no odor and usually clears up within two weeks. Some people may bleed for a longer duration, while others may only experience bleeding for 2-3 days, or even no bleeding at all. All of these are normal. If the bleeding lasts more than 15 days, the amount of bleeding exceeds 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 may indicate infection or incomplete miscarriage.
