Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Please ask, after taking medication for an abortion, I had a D&C procedure. After that, there has been a small amount of blood flow every day for 10 days. Later, it stopped, but after 3 more days, there was a little blood again. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Hello! This also belongs to the condition of postpartum lochia prolongation. It is often accompanied by abdominal pain, bloating, and poor appetite. In some cases, there may be excessive clots of blood with a foul odor. This condition is commonly caused by uterine contractions that are insufficient due to oral medication-induced abortion, incomplete (D&C), retained placenta, or incomplete miscarriage. Typically, Shenghua Decoction (pills) should be taken first. If it is ineffective, gynecological treatment corresponding to the symptoms should be administered (repeat surgery for uterine clearing or herbal medicine treatment tailored to the specific condition).
