Patient's question:
Doctor, after an abortion, my period has not ended for ten days, and there is a small amount of coffee-colored discharge. Today during the follow-up check, it showed a cystic dark area on the left adnexa, measuring 5.6×4.2 cm, with a thick capsule, poor internal echo, and fine, dense septal light bands. What is the situation?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion surgery, a B-ultrasound check is generally required one week post-operation. This is mainly to check for incomplete abortion, postoperative infection, and the recovery condition of the endometrium. If any abnormalities are found, timely treatment can be provided. This is important because if an infection occurs or recovery is poor, leaving behind sequelae, it may affect future fertility. Additionally, follow-up items include routine gynecological examinations, leukorrhea tests, and B-ultrasound checks. It should also be noted that after a painless abortion, vaginal bleeding may last for 7-10 days. If the bleeding exceeds the menstrual flow or persists for more than 20 days, it is recommended to visit the hospital for follow-up.
