Patient's question:
Medication abortion was incomplete, so a D&C was performed. Two weeks after the D&C, I went for a follow-up check-up. The doctor said everything was fine, but my uterus wasn't recovering well, so they prescribed more medication. What happens if the uterus doesn't recover well? Can I stop taking the medication? Is it okay if I take the medication twice a day instead of three times?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the medication abortion is not complete, manual uterine clearance may be necessary. After an induced abortion, it is important to rest and avoid catching a cold. You can take antibiotics for a few days to prevent infection. In this case, sexual activity is strictly prohibited within the first month to avoid infection and other complications. The speed of recovery varies greatly among individuals. If properly cared for, you can recover in about a month. However, it is recommended to wait at least six months before getting pregnant.
