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 discomfort in my abdomen. Two weeks later, during a follow-up check-up, an ultrasound revealed fluid accumulation. The doctor prescribed a week's worth of Gongxuening capsules. I've almost finished the medication, but I still have some discomfort on one side of my abdomen. Is this situation serious? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Post-abortion ultrasound examination showed an irregular fluid-filled area approximately 125mm in the lower segment of the uterine cavity. If there are symptoms of abdominal pain, it is highly likely to be caused by inflammation, although it is not ruled out that it could be due to a small amount of blood that has not been expelled.Guidelines:
Since the fluid is located in the lower segment of the uterine cavity, 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 examine the cervix to allow the fluid to drain out.
