If so, it can be treated promptly. Next, I will introduce to you some relevant knowledge about follow-up examination after abortion!

1. What are the items for abortion review?

After a woman has an abortion in the hospital, the doctor will recommend that the patient go to the hospital for a follow-up examination after resting for a week. Some women do not have any discomfort symptoms after the operation and their bodies recover well after the operation. They can also choose to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination one month after the operation. Common inspection methods are as follows:

Leucorrhea examination: By examining the female vaginal secretions, it is possible to understand whether there is acute inflammatory infection after abortion.

B-ultrasound examination: B-ultrasound examination after abortion can observe whether there is residual embryonic tissue in the uterus. The main purpose is to check whether the abortion is complete and to rule out incomplete abortion in time.

Routine gynecological examination: mainly checks the condition of the cervix and vagina, in order to understand the female's physical recovery after surgery, check whether there is cervical injury, or postoperative infection.

2. How long should I wait for a follow-up check after a painless abortion?

Check again at least once a month.

Gynecologists say that, generally speaking, if there are no abnormalities after a painless abortion, it is best to return to the hospital for a follow-up examination one month after the abortion to understand the specific circumstances of the uterine recovery after the operation, as well as other conditions.

First of all, generally speaking, a small amount of vaginal bleeding within 3 to 10 days after painless abortion is normal. If bleeding still occurs after 10 days, return to the hospital for a follow-up visit in time. Secondly, if severe abdominal pain, fever, or vaginal bleeding exceeding the menstrual volume occurs after the operation, a follow-up visit should be conducted at any time. In addition, menstruation will generally resume about one month after the operation. If menstruation still does not occur after several days, a follow-up visit should be conducted in time.
