Does it hurt to have a uterine curettage after medical abortion?

Many women choose to have an abortion with medication because they are afraid of surgery, but the success rate is relatively low. If the abortion is not clean, surgery is still required to remove the remaining embryonic tissue. If it is not removed in time, it will not only cause gynecological diseases, but also affect the physical recovery after the operation, and even affect the next pregnancy. Therefore, if the doctor thinks that you must have an abortion with medication and then have a uterine curettage, let's discuss the issue of whether it hurts or not below.

1. Is uterine curettage painful?

Medical abortion must be done by B-ultrasound to see whether the abortion is complete. If residual tissue is found and it is clear that it cannot be discharged by itself, it should be removed surgically in time to avoid safety hazards. After medical abortion, uterine cleaning is also performed using the scraping technique. Pain is inevitable, but generally bearable. Women who are not very sensitive to pain do not need anesthesia. As long as they are not nervous, relax their whole body, and cooperate closely with the doctor, the pain can be relieved.

If you are very afraid of pain and can't stand even slight pain, in order not to affect the surgery, you can have anesthesia and uterine cleaning after medical abortion. In this way, you won't feel pain. There will also be mild pain after the operation. At this time, you can ask the doctor to prescribe some painkillers.

2. Is it necessary to have a uterine cleaning after medical abortion?

If the miscarriage is complete and the test tube embryo is expelled successfully without any residue, the female patient does not need to perform uterine cleaning after medical abortion. If the miscarriage is incomplete and the test tube embryo is not completely expelled, it is necessary to perform uterine cleaning after medical abortion. That means another curettage and dilation operation is required.

If female friends find that the discharge is not clean after taking medication, they must deal with it properly. Only in this way can they ensure their health. They should not avoid treatment because of fear of pain, as this will cause many serious gynecological diseases. They must pay attention to rest after the operation, supplement nutrition through diet, avoid fatigue, avoid cold, rest in bed for a few days, and avoid excessive exercise. No matter which type of abortion, it will cause great harm to women's bodies and may lead to infertility. Therefore, women should pay attention to protecting themselves, give birth as much as possible during pregnancy, and do not have an abortion casually.
