What are the dangers of not clearing the uterus after medical abortion?

Medical abortion refers to a method of achieving miscarriage by taking drugs. If a woman has a medical abortion and there is residual tissue in the uterine cavity, she needs to undergo a curettage to remove it immediately to avoid leaving any minor problems to the body. However, what are the risks of not clearing the uterus after a medical abortion?

1. Affect uterine contraction. If medical abortion is not performed without uterine cleaning, residual tissue in the uterine cavity will always exist, thus affecting uterine contractions, which will cause women to bleed for a longer time during medical abortion.

2. Cause infection. If women do not undergo uterine curettage in time, medical abortion may cause continuous vaginal bleeding, and the blood will breed a lot of bacteria, which can easily cause intrauterine infection and then cause intrauterine disease. And it will also affect women's normal menstrual period, such as irregular menstruation.

Therefore, if a woman has undergone medical abortion and there is still undischarged material in the uterine cavity, she must undergo a curettage and ablation to discharge it in time to avoid causing serious harm to the body. If the residue is relatively small, less than 1 cm, and there is no excessive bleeding or other discomfort, it can be treated with medication, usually drugs that promote uterine contraction. If the residue is relatively small, it may be slowly discharged after the menstrual period is over. In this case, curettage and ablation are not necessary. After the curettage, women also need to receive postoperative medical care.

Medical abortion also has certain limitations and side effects, so it is not as simple as buying a few pills at the pharmacy. Medical abortion must be done in a reliable hospital outpatient clinic, and you must take care of your body conditioning and medical care after the abortion. During the medical care process, some matters should be paid attention to to avoid human infection and discomfort.
