Do I need to go to the hospital for a follow-up check after taking medication for a miscarriage and having a D&C?

Patient's question:

After taking medication for a miscarriage, I got my period one month later. The amount was slightly larger than before, but everything else is quite normal. Do I still need to go to the hospital for a follow-up check?

Doctor's answer:

??????Hello, Madam, medication-induced abortion can sometimes be incomplete. Since you have seen the complete expulsion of the gestational sac and embryo, and the doctor performed a follow-up uterine clearance, and your vaginal bleeding is now minimal, it should be clean. It is recommended that if there are no abnormal symptoms, you should have a follow-up ultrasound at the hospital after 1 week to understand the recovery of your uterus and whether there is any residual blood in the uterine cavity. If you have abnormal symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain, or increased vaginal bleeding, please seek medical attention immediately. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
