Patient's question:
The doctor and her husband had a sexual encounter without taking any precautions, which resulted in an unintended pregnancy. Later, she underwent an induced abortion. However, during a follow-up check-up after a month, only a residual tissue removal procedure was performed. So, what is the reason for the continuously increasing blood flow and abdominal pain three days after the procedure?Doctor's answer:
Hello:It is a pleasure to serve you. Based on the information you provided, it is normal to experience a small amount of vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain after a D&C procedure, which is related to uterine contractions. This is usually not more than one week and is considered normal. You have been prescribed Cefixime capsules and Metronidazole to prevent infection. Please pay close attention. If the bleeding increases or the abdominal pain worsens, you should seek medical review at the gynecology department.
After the D&C procedure, it is important to rest. Avoid heavy physical labor and strenuous exercise for two weeks. Do not consume spicy or cold foods, and take care to avoid cold exposure. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited for one month. Wishing you good health!
