During pregnancy, the fetus will leave a lot of things in the female body. During delivery, not only will the fetus be delivered, but these residues will also be excreted, so that the body can recover well. However, some women cannot completely expel these things, so some residues will remain in the uterine cavity. So, what is the size of 16mm fetal residue?
The fetal residue of 16mm is approximately the size of red dates. After giving birth, women usually do not need to clear the uterus. With the discharge of lochia, the residue inside the uterus will also flow out of the body, so women do not need to worry too much about residue. However, if there is a problem of incomplete lochia, it means that the residue has not flowed out completely. This situation is more likely to occur in women who have undergone cesarean section.
Each woman's constitution is different, so the time for residual discharge is also different. After giving birth, women can go to the hospital for a follow-up examination to see if the tissue in the uterine cavity has been completely discharged. If not, it should be treated according to the actual situation. If there is not much residual, they can take uterine contractions and antibiotics to treat it.
If there is a large amount of residual substance, it can cause continuous vaginal bleeding, and curettage surgery is needed to treat it. It is best to remove it all at once to avoid vaginal infection, which is not conducive to women's physical recovery. After the surgery, women should not have sexual intercourse too early, but wait until the uterus recovers to avoid infection of the wound.
