After childbirth, I have been intramuscularly injected with oxytocin and cephalexin for three days at the hospital.

Patient's question:

After giving birth, I have been receiving intramuscular injections of oxytocin and cephalexin at the hospital for three days. Now I am taking Shengxinhua Granules. Do I need to take any other medications at the same time? The ultrasound shows no abnormal blood flow signals, so is the residual tissue clotted blood or something else?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your condition should continue with medication treatment for now. Ultrasound cannot determine whether it is blood accumulation or endometrial residue.
Recommendation: It is recommended to use medication treatment for now. Since the residue is not significant, medication should help in its expulsion. If it has not been expelled after one week, consider a D&C procedure.
