How much residue does it take to have a uterine curettage after an abortion?

There are many ways to terminate pregnancy at present, but no matter which method is used, it is possible to cause incomplete abortion. Incomplete abortion requires the removal of residual tissue in the uterus. Especially when the residue is large, it is easy to cause infection if it is not removed in time, which is very harmful to women's health. In general, how large is the residue after abortion before uterine cleaning?

How much residual blood should be left after abortion to require uterine curettage?

Generally speaking, if the residue in the uterus is less than one centimeter, there is no need for uterine curettage. Bleeding should also be observed. If a small amount of fetal tissue residue is left in the uterus during an abortion, and the contraction of the uterus causes continuous bleeding or sticking and infection, it is best to do another uterine curettage. If the position or shape of the uterus is abnormal, it is easy to cause sequelae and is susceptible to bacterial infection. If the instruments are not thoroughly disinfected, or if the sterile process is not paid attention to during the operation, it may cause intrauterine infection, and it may continue to spread upward, causing the fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity to be infected. In severe cases, it will cause ectopic pregnancy or infertility.

Therefore, in daily life, we must take effective contraceptive measures to avoid unwanted pregnancies. If it is necessary, it is best to choose painless abortion and avoid using medical abortion to avoid causing residues in the uterus. Because some women do not have a complete abortion through medical abortion, and choose uterine curettage again, it causes double damage to the body.

2.1 Termination of pregnancy

A curettage is a procedure that uses an instrument to remove the embryo or uterine lining from the uterus. Currently, many women with unexpected pregnancies choose painless abortion to end their pregnancy, that is, painless curettage and uterine cleaning. Normally, once the patient feels well enough (usually the same day), they can resume normal activities. Vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal cramps and back pain may occur for several days after the operation. Painkillers can be taken to relieve the pain. The use of internal menstrual tampons is not recommended for several weeks, and sexual intercourse is not recommended for several days. Due to the trauma left on the endometrium after curettage, there will be vaginal bleeding within two weeks after the operation. Generally, the amount of blood is less than or similar to the menstrual amount, which is normal.

2.2 Diagnosis of menstrual disorders

Menstrual disorders are common gynecological diseases, manifested by abnormal menstrual cycles or bleeding volume, or abdominal pain and systemic symptoms before and during menstruation. The cause may be organic disease or functional disorder. Many systemic diseases such as blood diseases, hypertension, liver diseases, endocrine diseases, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, hydatidiform mole, reproductive tract infection, tumors (such as ovarian tumors, uterine fibroids), etc. can cause menstrual disorders. Curettage can be used to check the type of menstrual disorders and to understand the changes in the endometrium and its response to sex hormones.
