Patient's question:
Because of an accidental pregnancy, I had an abortion at the hospital 10 days ago. After the surgery, I received anti-inflammatory injections for 3 days. The vaginal bleeding stopped after about 5 days. I went to the hospital for a follow-up 10 days later, and the ultrasound showed that the uterus was normal and had recovered. The doctor previously said I needed another check-up in a month, but now that it's normal, do I still need to follow up?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is still necessary because is an invasive treatment that can cause a certain degree of damage to the endometrium. Postoperative check-ups should be conducted one month later to assess the recovery of the cervix and uterus, as well as the condition of vaginal discharge. Additionally, sexual activity should be avoided before follow-up examinations.
