Can I take Chinese medicine to treat an incomplete abortion?

After a woman becomes pregnant, she may need to have an abortion for various reasons, such as fetal maldevelopment, absence of embryonic bud or fetal heartbeat. Some women have unexpected pregnancies and do not want the fetus in their womb, so they have to have an abortion. There are a wide variety of surgical procedures, and medical abortion is one of them. However, medical abortion may not be complete due to certain reasons. Incomplete miscarriage has a serious impact on women's uterus and is prone to inflammatory diseases. So if the abortion is not complete, can I take Chinese medicine to treat it?

If the residue is clearly large, surgical curettage is generally required. If it is extremely small, drugs such as motherwort can be used.

1. What situations indicate incomplete medical abortion?

Generally, blood clots will be discharged 4-6 hours after taking medical abortion. Because medical abortion causes certain trauma to the uterus, there will be certain bleeding and abdominal pain (the pain sensation varies from person to person). The amount of bleeding and abdominal pain will decrease with the passage of time. Within two weeks of taking the medicine, you need to pay close attention to whether there is an embryonic sac (a smaller water sac with white villi) in the discharged blood clots. If there is prolonged bleeding, excessive bleeding, or no embryonic sac is discharged, the medical abortion may be incomplete and failed.

2. How to care after incomplete medical abortion and curettage

1. Taboo on sexual life

No matter how long the bleeding has stopped after uterine curettage, sexual intercourse should be avoided before menstruation, because the cervix is ​​in a relaxed state during medical abortion and it is easy to be infected by bacteria, which can lead to some inflammation.

2. Avoid taking a bath

Be careful when bathing after medical abortion, avoid tub baths within one month, and do not do vaginal douching or swimming to prevent infection.

3. Pay attention to personal hygiene

Pay attention to personal hygiene. All sanitary napkins and toilet papers should be of qualified quality and sterilized. At the same time, sanitary napkins should be changed frequently. Underwear should be changed and washed daily and should be made of cotton.

4. Taking antibiotics

If medical abortion fails or incomplete abortion causes continuous bleeding and a uterine curettage is required, antibiotics should be taken after the operation.

5. Pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue

Pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue after medical abortion and uterine curettage. You can take some Chinese medicine that has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis to promote uterine contraction and expel embryonic tissue, which can reduce the amount of bleeding and bleeding time, such as motherwort paste or granules.

6. Pay attention to dietary supplements

After the uterine curettage, you should pay attention to dietary adjustments, eat more high-quality protein to strengthen your physical fitness, eat some blood-enriching foods appropriately, and avoid greasy and irritating foods.

3. How to prevent incomplete medical abortion

1. Supplementary use of abortion drugs

If the amount of bleeding is not large, a certain amount of abortion drugs can be taken as an additional measure.

2. Use oxytocin

Under the guidance of a doctor, oxytocin is used to expel the embryonic sac.

3. Take medication under the guidance of a doctor

Under the guidance of a doctor, take oral drugs such as Gongxuening (not suitable for gastrointestinal diseases) and Motherwort (not suitable for diabetes). These drugs have anti-inflammatory, analgesic and hemostatic effects, can help the uterus contract, and are beneficial for the expulsion of undischarged decidua and gestational sac tissue.

4. Anti-inflammatory treatment

If an infection or inflammation occurs during medical abortion, anti-inflammatory treatment should be carried out in a timely manner.

5. Conduct other treatments promptly

Once it is confirmed that the abortion may be incomplete, go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time to confirm whether other treatment methods such as curettage should be used.

All topics related to sex are exciting and something they want to try. Therefore, through the above explanation, we must realize that sex is not something that everyone can touch. If we accidentally encounter these problems, we must go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations and never act on our own.
