What should I do if there is residue after uterine cleaning?

Curettage is a very common surgery. Although it is now very mature, it can still lead to incomplete uterine cleaning and residues. Just like abortion surgery, incomplete abortion can still occur. It needs to be treated well to avoid the possibility of uterine cavity infection, which is very harmful to human health. What should I do if there are residues after uterine curettage?

What to do if there is residue after uterine cleaning?

Wait for spontaneous discharge

There will usually be some residue in the body after curettage, but the residue is usually small and can usually be discharged on its own after the operation. As long as you maintain good hygiene during the recovery period and use sanitary pads and sanitary napkins, you will be fine.

Drug excretion

If you feel that the residue is excreted too slowly, you can take medication, usually by taking motherwort or new biochemical granules to promote the excretion of residue.

Go to the hospital to remove

If it is confirmed that there are residues at the cervical opening, but the residues are too large to be discharged by themselves, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to use forceps to remove them. Although another uterine cleaning will cause certain harm to the body, the residues left in the body will cause greater harm to the body, so it is better to take them out.

Precautions after curettage

1. Pay attention to bleeding

1. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after curettage, and is accompanied by lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and foul-smelling leucorrhea, etc., you should go to the hospital for follow-up examination and treatment in time.

2. Pay attention to hygiene

After curettage, the cervix has not yet closed and the endometrium also has a repair process. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. Do not take a bath in a tub within half a month after the operation to prevent unclean water from entering the vagina, leading to bacterial invasion and infection.

3. Take breaks

After the curettage, you should rest in bed for 2 to 3 days, then you can get out of bed and move around, gradually increasing the time you spend on activities.

4. Pay attention to your diet

Pay attention to increasing nutrition, taking in adequate protein, enhancing the body's resistance to disease, and promoting early repair of injured organs.

Vaginal Exercises

The discharge of blood stasis and residues after uterine cleaning is accomplished by uterine contraction, but we cannot control the uterus ourselves, so we have to let the vagina move in conjunction with the uterus to speed up uterine contraction and promote the discharge of blood stasis.

1. Women can imagine that they are injecting strength into the vagina, and stand with their toes turned inward. Imagine that you are wearing tight underwear to shrink your abdomen, cross your hands in front of your chest, and let your vagina be in a relaxed state.

2. Take a deep breath and exhale slowly for about 5 seconds. Gradually let your lower abdomen sink again, so that your vagina feels as if it is being pulled up.

3. Breathe slowly and relax. Repeat the same sequence 5 times. Once you get used to exercising your vagina, it won't work even if you don't cross your arms over your chest.
