Elimination of residual material after medical abortion

After medical abortion, some lochia can be completely discharged. This is the best situation. Although it will cause certain harm to the body, it will not affect the next pregnancy. However, for some women, even after medical abortion, the blood stasis in the body cannot be completely eliminated. In this case, a uterine curettage operation is required to remove the lochia in the uterus. After the uterine curettage operation, the chance of pregnancy of women will be greatly reduced.

Experts say that after undergoing medical abortion in the hospital, you cannot just go home and rest, but you need to use some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs, such as motherwort paste, to expel residual embryonic tissue in the uterine cavity, reduce vaginal bleeding, and shorten bleeding time.

Although there is no damage to the equipment, vaginal bleeding caused by medical abortion is heavier than normal menstrual flow. Therefore, some medicines that invigorate qi and nourish blood should be used, such as Danggui Yangxue Pills and Qianzhi Capsules. To prevent uterine infection after medical abortion, do not ignore the use of antibiotics, such as levofloxacin, metronidazole and other drugs. Generally, these medicines are taken for about a week.

In addition, after medical abortion, some people either do not pay enough attention to rest, or they rest too much, which is wrong. Medical abortion can cause great harm to the human body. Although you don't need to be as cautious as during confinement, you still need to get enough rest, avoid colds, and eat less spicy food.

It should be noted that in addition to refraining from sexual intercourse for one month after medical abortion, you should go to the hospital for a check-up 1 to 2 weeks after the abortion to see how the blood stasis and residual contents in the uterine cavity are discharged. If vaginal bleeding does not stop and the gestational sac cannot be completely discharged, surgical curettage will be required, otherwise it will be dangerous.

1. Prone to Inflammation and Infection

After medical abortion, the embryonic sac tissue in the uterine cavity can be discharged on the same day. Sometimes the pregnancy tissue is not completely discharged, the uterine membrane is not restored well, and the vaginal bleeding lasts for a long time, which may last for 2-3 weeks or even 1-2 months. Long-term irregular bleeding after medical abortion can cause chronic anemia, reduce the body's resistance, and easily cause bacterial infection.

2. Cause heavy bleeding

The disadvantage of medical abortion is that it can easily lead to incomplete abortion. The residual fetal membrane tissue can cause hemorrhage and heavy bleeding, and you must be hospitalized immediately for curettage and cleaning. If you are not rescued in time, your life will be in danger.

Since medical abortion is less thorough, incomplete abortion may require further surgical treatment, which can cause repeated damage to the endometrium, placenta previa, heavy prenatal bleeding, or habitual abortion.

4. Dysmenorrhea

Some women may experience dysmenorrhea or worsening symptoms after medical abortion, with crampy or persistent pain in the lower abdomen during menstruation, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, back pain, breast swelling, and even fainting in severe cases.

5. Cause infertility

Medical abortion can easily lead to blockage of the fallopian tubes and cervical adhesions, causing infertility; medical abortion can cause excessive damage to the uterus and ovaries, which is also one of the causes of infertility.
