What kind of situation should be curettage after induced abortion

Due to some reasons, when the pregnancy reaches the late stage, the fetus cannot grow and develop normally, resulting in the death of the fetus. If medical abortion or surgical abortion is not available at this time, induced abortion is required. So, in what situations after induced abortion, uterine curettage is required? Let’s take a look at it below.

1. Is it necessary to have a uterine curettage after induced abortion?

1. If a woman's pregnancy exceeds fourteen cycles, she needs to choose induced abortion. Of course, the patient's condition may be caused by lochia after the induced abortion, or it may be caused by the induced abortion. After induced abortion, a curettage is generally chosen. If the patient has blood stains, it means that the induced abortion is incomplete and a curettage needs to be prepared in advance.

2. In fact, there are some risks for women in induced abortion. Many patients are basically hospitalized for observation after induced abortion. Before induced abortion, the hospital will conduct a very systematic examination of the patient's body. A small amount of lochia after induced abortion is normal, and general bleeding does not exceed 2 weeks.

3. If the patient suspects that the induced abortion is incomplete, it is recommended that she go to the local abortion hospital for a follow-up visit. The follow-up visit usually involves a simple B-ultrasound, which is mainly to check whether the patient has any residue in the body. If not, it is not recommended to perform a uterine curettage. Not all patients need a uterine curettage after induced abortion.
