How many days after medical abortion?

Most women who have an unexpected pregnancy will choose to terminate the pregnancy by medical abortion or artificial abortion. Some people like medical abortion, thinking that medical abortion does not require surgery like artificial abortion. However, although medical abortion does not require surgery, it is easy to have incomplete abortion. Incomplete abortion requires uterine curettage, which is very harmful to the female body. How many days after medical abortion should uterine curettage be performed?

How many days after medical abortion should I have my uterus cleaned?

Under normal circumstances, if the abortion is clean, there is no need for uterine curettage. The patient should go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to see if there is any residual tissue in the uterus that requires uterine curettage. Once it is confirmed that the abortion is not clean, uterine curettage should be performed in time. Once it is confirmed that the miscarriage was not complete, the earlier the uterine cleaning is done, the less harm it will cause to the body. Generally, a follow-up check is done 7-10 days after the miscarriage.

In what cases should a curettage be performed during medical abortion?

After taking the medicine, it was confirmed that the pregnancy tissue was discharged, and the B-ultrasound examination did not show the gestational sac, so it can be diagnosed that the abortion was complete. If high-echo tissue is seen in the uterine cavity during B-ultrasound, it is likely to be detached tissue or blood clot. At this point, we can continue to observe, or use misoprostol tablets again to plug the vagina or anus to promote uterine contraction and discharge residual tissue. However, if no pregnancy tissue is seen to be discharged after taking the medicine, there is vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal pain, and a gestational sac is still visible in the uterine cavity during B-ultrasound examination, then it can be determined that the abortion is incomplete and a uterine curettage is needed as soon as possible to remove any residual embryonic tissue.

What are the symptoms of unclean abortion?

Generally speaking, an incomplete medical abortion will have the following symptoms: If the gestational sac is not expelled from the body after taking the medicine, and the B-ultrasound results show that there are residual gestational sacs left in the uterine cavity, it means that the medical abortion is incomplete. At this time, symptoms such as nausea, lower abdominal pain, and continuous vaginal bleeding may appear. Among them, persistent vaginal bleeding is a typical manifestation of incomplete medical abortion. You should go to the hospital for a uterine curettage in time, otherwise it may be life-threatening.

In addition, if vaginal bleeding lasts for more than 2 weeks after medical abortion, and ultrasound examination shows that there is no fetal sac remaining in the uterus, then it may be caused by uterine infection. Because blood is one of the best substances for cultivating bacteria, and there will be irregular vaginal bleeding for about 15 days after medical abortion. If not properly cared for, uterine infection will occur, causing prolonged bleeding.
