Patient's question:
Hello, I had an abortion on May 4th. The next day after the procedure, I stopped bleeding, but I've been experiencing abdominal discomfort. After two weeks, I had a follow-up ultrasound, which revealed fluid accumulation. The doctor prescribed a week's worth of Gongxuening capsules. I've almost finished them, but I still have some discomfort on one side of my abdomen. Is this serious? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Post-abortion ultrasound examination showed an irregular fluid-filled area approximately 125mm in the lower uterine segment. If there are symptoms of abdominal pain, the possibility of inflammation is high, and it is also not ruled out that it is due to a small amount of blood not being expelled.Guidelines:
Since the fluid is located in the lower uterine segment, it is recommended to use some medication to help the uterus contract, along with anti-inflammatory treatment. Walking more often is beneficial for the fluid to be expelled. If the fluid is expelled after medication, there is no need to worry. If the fluid cannot be expelled after medication, you can go to the hospital for a probe to check the cervix to allow the fluid to drain out.
