What Complications Can Arise From Retained Products Of Abortion?
Question: Hi Team, My sister has been through a medical abortion. She bled for almost a week and then stopped. 15 days after the procedure, when she did an ultrasound, the report said that some products still remained and the size was 8*5 mm. It was been one month now but my sister did not get periods. There is no bleeding and no sense of any discomfort. Please let me know if the small remains will cause any problem for her and till when should we get her periods?
Brief Answer:
You can wait for the periods.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
I have seen all the attached reports. In the ultrasound scan the uterine cavity looks almost empty. The minor products that were detected on ultrasound scan are usually expelled with next periods. These do not cause any major problem except for bleeding. Now that she is not having any bleeding or any other symptoms then it is best to wait for her periods to start spontaneously.
Her periods should start in next 1-2 weeks. In case the periods do not start then do consult your gynecologist for hormonal tablets to get a withdrawal bleeding.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
