Patient's question:
My aunt is 32 years old this year and has been pregnant for more than two months. She only found out that she had a miscarriage after checking at the hospital. The doctor recommended an immediate abortion, so she underwent an abortion procedure. But after a miscarriage, what tests should be done before getting pregnant again?Doctor's answer:
First, you have to accept the fact that the fetus has indeed stopped developing! I just went through this as well, and sometimes I still ask myself, is this really true! You still have to face reality and stay strong! The top priority is to get an abortion, as it's already been about 70 days. Choose a painless one, so you won't feel anything! It also heals faster afterward. Medical abortion is no longer effective at this stage, as the fetus has grown too large. Plus, you don't know when it stopped developing, and some dead cells or tissue may remain attached to the uterine wall. If the medical abortion isn't complete, it could delay future conception! You mentioned early pregnancy symptoms—I've asked a doctor about this, and they said that as long as there's a fetus in the uterus, there will definitely be early pregnancy symptoms. These symptoms will disappear within a few days after the abortion! As for check-ups, just wait until a month after the procedure! I'm waiting too! If you want to know more about why the fetus stopped developing and what follow-up tests to expect, you can search for "fetal demise" on Baidu—the first few search results will have relevant medical information! Be brave! Don't be too heartbroken! Focus on healing your body now, and you'll have healthier babies in the future!
