Will the residual in the uterus become larger after medical abortion?

Many women with unexpected pregnancies will choose to terminate the pregnancy by medical abortion, but medical abortion has many disadvantages and can easily lead to incomplete abortion. Generally, if incomplete abortion occurs, uterine cleaning is required in time. If the uterus is not cleaned, it can easily cause infection. Some women worry that the residue in the uterus will grow larger after medical abortion, endangering their health.

Will the residual in the uterus become larger after medical abortion?

Generally speaking, if there is no blood flow signal in the residual in the uterus, it will not usually grow larger. However, if the residual is relatively large, it will cause continuous bleeding in the body, which is very harmful to physical health and requires active uterine curettage treatment.

What to do if the abortion is not clean

If there is residue after medical abortion and the B-ultrasound examination shows it, if the residue is not large, it can be treated with medication. If medical abortion is not complete, there will be continuous bleeding, and most people will also have abdominal pain, which is mainly caused by the irritation of the residue.

At present, it is impossible to determine whether the abortion is incomplete, because if it is normal, the bleeding time after abortion will not exceed one week. If bleeding continues for more than two weeks, it is very likely that there is residue. You should pay attention to rest recently. Moreover, if bleeding continues after two weeks, you should go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound. If there is still residue, you should have a uterine cleaning as soon as possible.

Symptoms of unclean medical abortion

1. Medical abortion is not clean, disgusting, and greasy. If you experience lower abdominal pain and persistent vaginal bleeding, you should immediately go to a regular hospital for a gynecological examination and B-ultrasound.

2. If medical abortion is not done cleanly, infection may occur. Experts recommend that it is best to go to the hospital for a follow-up visit after a medical abortion. If the B-ultrasound shows that there is no residue in the uterus, then intrauterine infection should be considered, because the blood from the abortion is a good breeding ground for bacteria. If the condition is serious, there will be tenderness in the uterus and fever during gynecological examination.

If medical abortion is not complete, only a uterine curettage operation can be performed to clean out the remaining residues. Therefore, in many cases, you still have to be cautious about abortion. If you experience discomfort or bleeding after medical abortion, it may be that the abortion was not complete, so you must pay attention to the subsequent care issues.
