Patient's question:
Doctor:Hello! I underwent a D&C (dilation and curettage) on October 9th and a second D&C on October 16th due to incomplete medication-induced abortion. After the first D&C, I had no other symptoms except for bleeding for about a week. However, after the second D&C, I’ve been experiencing persistent discomfort in the upper area of the vagina, with a feeling of fullness and pressure. At the traditional Chinese medicine hospital, I had an ultrasound, a routine vaginal discharge test, and a gynecological examination. The results showed only pelvic effusion (a 2.3×0.7 cm fluid shadow in the uterus and rectal fossa, with normal uterine and adnexal structures). Everything else was normal. After medication, the effusion disappeared by November 14th during my follow-up visit. However, the discomfort mentioned above still occasionally appears, sometimes causing pelvic pain as well.
Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, in this case, it is recommended to actively seek gynecological care as the primary approach. This is mainly considered to be a manifestation of pelvic inflammatory disease. It is advised to maintain a balanced diet, keep a positive mood, balance work and rest, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. An ultrasound examination is recommended for targeted treatment. Wishing you good health.
