How long after medical abortion should I go for color Doppler ultrasound examination?

Many women choose to end their pregnancy through medical abortion when they become pregnant unexpectedly. This does not involve intrauterine operations, so there are fewer complications. However, if women undergo medical abortion, they may suffer from incomplete abortion. So, how long should it take to have a follow-up ultrasound after medical abortion?

Women need to go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound follow-up examination about seven days after medical abortion. Women will experience vaginal bleeding after having medical abortion, and the bleeding usually lasts about a week. Therefore, it is a more appropriate time for women to go to the hospital for a follow-up B-ultrasound seven days after medical abortion.

B-ultrasound examination is performed during medical abortion to determine whether there is any residue in the uterus and to understand the recovery status of the uterus. This is very important for women. After the B-ultrasound examination, the treatment plan can be adjusted according to the results, and the doctor will also give women some suggestions.

There are two methods for ultrasound examination of medical abortion, namely intravaginal ultrasound and abdominal ultrasound. If a woman's bleeding symptoms have subsided, she can choose to do a vaginal B-ultrasound, which can more clearly observe the condition of the uterus. If a woman's vaginal bleeding symptoms have not subsided, she should choose abdominal B-ultrasound. Although the image quality of abdominal B-ultrasound is lower than that of intravaginal B-ultrasound, it can also promptly deal with abnormalities of the uterus, such as residual matter in the uterus.

How long does it take to get pregnant after medical abortion?

It is best to rest for more than half a year after abortion before considering pregnancy to allow the uterus to recover, which is beneficial to the health of the baby. The uterus has a memory function. If it is not repaired well, it is easy to have miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. The shorter the interval between pregnancies, the more likely it is to have miscarriage. The time for trying to conceive again after medical abortion should not be delayed too long, because the longer the time, the heavier the patient's family and social pressure will be, and the greater the mental burden will be. This negative emotion will have a negative effect on the function of the gonad axis and will be detrimental to the next pregnancy. In practical terms:

1. For those who have undergone uterine curettage due to inevitable miscarriage (fetal arrest), they can get pregnant again after recuperation for 3 to 6 months if their menstrual periods are relatively regular, poor physical factors are sufficiently corrected, and various indicators are basically normal.

2. For those with mild miscarriage, such as ectopic pregnancy, the trauma to the uterine wall and the effect on the gonad axis are not significant. Therefore, after nursing and experiencing a regular menstrual period, if all indicators are basically normal, you can try to get pregnant in the second month.

3. For older women, the longer the time, the lower the ovaries, so they should hurry up and consider trying to get pregnant early.

Finally, I would like to remind all ladies that medical abortion also has certain limitations and side effects. Therefore, you must go to a reliable hospital for medical abortion, and pay attention to your physical conditioning and medical care after the abortion. During the medical care process, you should pay attention to some matters to prevent physical infection and discomfort.
