Abortion, also known as induced abortion, is a method of helping women terminate their pregnancy through artificial means. For women who accidentally become pregnant but do not want to have children, having an abortion is an inevitable choice. After having an abortion, women not only need to rest more, strengthen their nutrition, and pay attention to personal hygiene, but also need to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination. Some women have asked, is it okay not to have a follow-up examination after having an abortion?
After the abortion, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination, using B-ultrasound to check the recovery of the uterus, such as whether there are pregnancy residues in the uterine cavity and whether the congestion has been completely discharged. Poor recovery of the uterus has a great impact on women. If the uterus does not recover well after the abortion, it may lead to menstrual disorders, habitual miscarriage, secondary infertility, and chronic pelvic inflammation.
After examination, it was found that there were pregnancy residues in the uterine cavity. If there were not many residues, medication that promotes uterine contractions can be taken to expel the residues from the body. If there were a large amount of residues, uterine curettage surgery should be performed as soon as possible. If not treated in a timely manner, it is easy to cause intrauterine infections and affect physical health.
If there is blood stasis in the uterine cavity and it is not completely discharged, it may also cause uterine infection. In severe cases, it can cause massive bleeding. In this case, oral oxytocin or motherwort can be taken under the guidance of a doctor to promote uterine contractions. If necessary, antibiotics can be given to prevent infection.
