What to do if there is uterine fluid accumulation after induced labor

Recently, a friend told me that she had an induced abortion. Now other aspects of her body are fine, but there is some uterine fluid after the operation, and her stomach feels a little uncomfortable. She doesn’t know what to do to get better, and she dare not tell her family, so she asked me for help. After understanding it from many aspects, I told her some of what I knew. The following is what to do if there is uterine fluid after induced abortion. I hope it can help her.

Whether acute or chronic endometritis is accompanied by cervical canal obstruction, so that the inflammatory secretions in the uterine cavity cannot flow out or the drainage is poor, uterine cavity pyometra can form. Clinical manifestations:

1. The main symptom is lower abdominal pain, which may be accompanied by systemic symptoms, fever, and increased white blood cell count.

2. Intrauterine pyometra that gradually forms due to chronic endometritis may have no obvious symptoms.

3. Gynecological examination shows that the uterus is enlarged, soft and tender. The parametrial connective tissue may be significantly thickened, and there may be an inflammatory mass in the adnexal area. It is recommended to perform uterine exploration and drainage. Use a probe to detect the depth of the uterus in the direction of uterine inclination. After insertion, use a cervical dilator to expand the uterine cavity until the accumulated fluid can flow out smoothly. Perform diagnostic curettage when necessary. After the operation, attention should be paid to maintaining smooth uterine drainage. The patency of the cervical canal is the key to drainage. Drain the uterine fluid as cleanly as possible.

There are three common treatments for post-labor uterine fluid accumulation:

1. General treatment: relieve patients' worries, enhance their confidence in treatment, increase nutrition, exercise, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and improve the body's resistance.

2. Treatment with Chinese medicine: Most cases of intrauterine effusion are of damp-heat type, and the treatment is mainly to clear away heat and dampness, and to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

3. The benign stimulation of warmth can promote local blood circulation in the uterine cavity, improve the nutritional status of the tissue, and increase metabolism, so as to facilitate the absorption and disappearance of inflammation. Commonly used methods include short wave, ultrashort wave, ion penetration (various drugs such as penicillin, streptomycin, etc. can be added), wax therapy, etc.

Pay more attention to rest and nutrition, keep the local area clean and hygienic, and avoid eating spicy food. You can now take Gynecological Qianjin Tablets and Safflower Tablets for treatment. Or treat with penicillin, ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin intravenously during menstruation. It is best not to have sexual intercourse within one month of induced abortion. According to your current situation, it is best to conceive again after half a year. At the same time, it is recommended to take folic acid tablets from the first three months of pregnancy to the first three months after pregnancy. It is a medicine to prevent fetal malformations.

Well, that’s all I have to say about uterine fluid accumulation after induced abortion. I suggest that you get more rest, work less, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy and sour foods. You can do some exercise one week after induced abortion, but it should be something your body can tolerate, such as soft gymnastics and yoga, which can help you recover faster.
