Next, let’s find out how long it takes to go to the hospital for a follow-up check-up after a miscarriage?

Spontaneous abortion is a type of abortion that we often see in our daily lives. It is a situation where some minor accidents lead to miscarriage. However, this cannot avoid the harm it causes to our body. The harm to women is still quite large, and certain examinations are still needed. Let us understand how long to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination after a spontaneous abortion.

How long after a miscarriage should I go to the hospital for a follow-up check

In general, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a vaginal ultrasound examination about 7 days after the bleeding is clean, to observe the condition of the uterus and its appendages to see if there is any residue.

First of all, a colposcopy will not show the situation inside the vagina, which means it cannot determine whether a complete miscarriage has occurred. If there has been vaginal bleeding since the miscarriage, it should be caused by residual blood inside the vagina. If there is still a lot of vaginal bleeding after the uterine cleaning, then it depends on whether the uterine cleaning process was smooth and whether another uterine cleaning is needed.

About a week after a miscarriage, whether you are still bleeding or have stopped bleeding, you should go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to see if the bleeding is completely clear, whether there is any residue, whether there is any inflammation in the pelvic cavity, etc.

An authoritative gynecologist said that the time for follow-up examination after abortion should be determined according to the specific situation of the patient. Generally speaking, a follow-up examination can be done two weeks after the abortion. However, if a woman finds that she has bleeding problems, abdominal pain or other abnormal conditions after the abortion, she must go for a follow-up examination in time to avoid serious consequences.

The dangers of spontaneous abortion

1. Infection: All types of abortion can be complicated by infection, which is more common in incomplete abortions. The infection can be confined to the uterine cavity, or it can spread to the periphery of the uterus and even beyond the reproductive organs to cause peritonitis and sepsis.

2. Severe blood loss: Sometimes inevitable or incomplete miscarriage can lead to severe blood loss and even shock.

3. Placental polyps: can cause severe uterine bleeding, which often occurs within a few weeks after miscarriage.

The above is some detailed explanation of how often to follow up after a miscarriage. Women should pay attention to their own physical health and not avoid going to the hospital for a check-up because they are afraid of trouble. This will instead cause more serious diseases. Miscarriage can cause some serious gynecological diseases, so you must pay enough attention to it.
