Symptoms of incomplete uterine curettage during induced labor

Women who have miscarriage need to undergo uterine curettage. If the uterus cannot be cleanly cleaned during the curettage, it may lead to very serious consequences. Generally, uterine curettage is not recommended to be performed in a small hospital. It must be performed in a regular large hospital, and discharge from the hospital can only be considered after confirmation that the uterus has been cleaned. In addition, it is necessary for people to understand some symptoms of incomplete uterine cleaning during induced labor so that problems can be discovered early.

1. Nausea and greasy

Other typical symptoms of incomplete drainage after curettage include nausea, aversion to greasy food, lower abdominal pain, and persistent vaginal bleeding.

Treatment: Pay attention to a light diet and avoid greasy and fried foods. After the curettage, you should eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up your body's recovery.

2. Infection causing itching

This is one of the symptoms of incomplete blood loss due to curettage. If the B-ultrasound shows no residue in the uterus, then intrauterine infection should be considered, because the blood discharged after abortion is a good breeding ground for bacteria. If the symptoms of an incomplete abortion are very serious, then during a gynecological examination, the uterus will be tender and there will be symptoms such as fever.

Treatment: After curettage, the cervix has not closed yet 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. Uterine pressure

If the curettage is not done cleanly, it will cause pressure on the uterus, causing tenderness in the uterus and fever throughout the body. It will also give bacteria an opportunity to take advantage and easily cause interference. If infected, it will lead to abnormal leucorrhea and abdominal pain.

Treatment: After curettage, the patient should rest in bed for 2 to 3 days, then he can get out of bed and move around, gradually increasing the activity time. Do not engage in heavy physical labor and avoid contact with cold water within half a month after curettage.

4. Abdominal pain

Abdominal pain is one of the symptoms after curettage. After the bleeding starts in early miscarriage, the blood in the uterine cavity, especially blood clots, stimulates uterine contraction and presents as persistent lower abdominal pain. Late miscarriage is characterized by paroxysmal uterine contractions followed by fetal separation, so there is abdominal pain and bleeding before vaginal bleeding, and most of the time it is progressive, which is related to the surgical process and progress.

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

5. Bleeding

Vaginal bleeding After the placenta is separated during painless abortion, there may be a small amount of bleeding on the wound left on the uterine wall. This is a normal reaction after painless abortion. In this case, as the uterus contracts and the wound repairs, vaginal bleeding usually stops slowly in 3-5 days and does not exceed 1-15 days. However, if the amount of vaginal bleeding exceeds the amount of menstrual blood and lasts too long, you need to seek medical treatment in time. The symptoms of curettage without dry flow are usually lower abdominal pain and continuous vaginal bleeding. The bleeding time after medical abortion is 1-3 weeks, and the amount of bleeding gradually decreases. If the bleeding decreases and then increases again, or does not decrease at all, or gradually increases, these are symptoms that the curettage was not complete.

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

6. Health Tips

Therefore, if the patient experiences uterine tenderness, fever, abnormal leucorrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, etc. after curettage, it means that the curettage was not clean. At this time, you must go to the hospital for examination. If it is found that there is residue in the uterus (the curettage is not clean), a uterine cleaning operation must be performed. Therefore, if the curettage is not clean, a second curettage is the best option.
