Do I need to have a uterine curettage if the abortion is 10mm?

After medical abortion, you should strengthen your nutrition, pay attention to rest, avoid fatigue, keep warm, observe your body's recovery, and check your uterus regularly for abnormalities. If there is still 10mm left after medical abortion, many women wonder whether they should do a curettage. After all, it is a surgery, and any surgery has certain risks. So they are more confused about whether to do a curettage if the amount is 10mm. Do they need a curettage if the amount is 10mm after medical abortion? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. Do I need to have a uterine cleaning after medical abortion when the abortion is 10mm?

If there is about one centimeter of residual blood after medical abortion, it is recommended to consider surgical curettage.

2. Is surgical abortion better or medical abortion?

1. Surgical abortion is generally better than medical abortion. Surgical abortion is a method of terminating pregnancy. Generally, it can be performed before 14 weeks of pregnancy. For women who have an unexpected pregnancy and do not want the child, they can choose abortion. However, abortion will more or less cause certain harm to the body. Therefore, it is also very important for women to choose the best abortion procedure and minimize the harm to the body.

2. Medical abortion is extremely harmful to women. Although medical abortion is cheap, if the amount of bleeding is too much, it will cause harm to the female body. At the same time, medical abortion is difficult to be clean. If the bleeding is not clean, uterine curettage is required, which will cause further damage to the uterus, thinning the uterine wall, and even perforation, and may also cause infertility. Therefore, surgical abortion is relatively better than medical abortion.

3. When undergoing surgical or medical abortion, you should go to the hospital for examination and perform the procedure under the guidance of a doctor. Do not choose an informal hospital just to save money, because some informal hospitals do not have perfect facilities and equipment disinfection measures. There is a possibility of heavy bleeding or infection during the operation. At the same time, women who choose medical abortion should not blindly take medicine on their own, because improper medical abortion may also cause heavy bleeding and even threaten their lives.

3. Notes

Whether women choose surgical abortion or medical abortion, they must be very cautious. If women cause various effects during the abortion process, it will cause harm to their bodies, affect their fertility, and even cause various gynecological diseases. Therefore, when women choose surgical abortion or medical abortion, it is best to do so under the guidance of a doctor.
