How long after a woman has a uterine curettage should she have a follow-up examination?

Uterine curettage is one of the care measures taken by women after undergoing an artificial abortion. It is a process that women must go through if they choose to have an abortion. Uterine curettage can cause great pain and side effects to women's bodies, so you must be cautious when doing this surgery. However, many women do not pay attention to their living habits after uterine curettage, which leads to serious infection of the reproductive system. Therefore, follow-up examination after uterine curettage is very necessary. Let’s take a look at how long it is best for women to have a follow-up examination after uterine curettage?

1. Although medical abortion is very simple and easy, and the price is relatively cheap, its biggest disadvantage is that in many cases it is impossible to completely abort the gestational sac embryo, so a uterine curettage operation is required. A uterine curettage operation may not be able to remove all embryos, so a B-ultrasound check is required about half a month after the uterine curettage operation.

2. If the curettage operation is not particularly complicated and the drug residues are not particularly large, a follow-up examination will be required about one week after the operation. When doing the follow-up ultrasound examination, you can choose abdominal B-ultrasound or vaginal B-ultrasound, but it is better to choose vaginal B-ultrasound.

3. Do an ultrasound check once a week or so. If you find that the imaging is not particularly clear, you will need to do another check in the second week. Don’t think it’s troublesome and avoid a check. Not checking the curettage will cause the embryo to remain in the uterus, which will affect your future life and also affect future conception.

After the curettage, women must pay attention to rest, try to avoid physical labor, eat more foods that replenish qi and nourish blood, and remind women that after the curettage, even if there is no blood flowing out of the vagina, sexual intercourse must be prohibited, because the cervix is ​​damaged during the curettage, and the endometrium needs a certain amount of time to recover. Having sexual intercourse too early will cause women to be infected with gynecological diseases.
