Does abortion require uterine curettage?

If the abortion is complete and the embryonic tissue has been completely expelled, there is no need for uterine curettage. In this case, women may experience short-term vaginal bleeding, but then the bleeding will stop naturally and the body will gradually recover. At this time, proper rest and nutritional supplements are key, and the vulva must be kept clean to prevent infection.

If the abortion is incomplete and there is residual tissue left in the uterine cavity, uterine curettage should be considered. Residual tissue may cause continued bleeding, increase the risk of infection, and even affect future pregnancy. Uterine curettage can effectively remove the residue, promote uterine contraction, and reduce the chance of bleeding and infection. The operation is usually performed under strict disinfection conditions. Although there are certain risks, it is relatively safe under the guidance of a professional doctor.

Uterine curettage is not an inevitable step after miscarriage. Whether or not a uterine curettage is necessary should be determined through medical examination and doctor's advice. After miscarriage, women should pay close attention to physical changes, such as bleeding, abdominal pain, etc., and have regular checkups to ensure that the uterus has recovered well.

Abortion is a test for women both physically and mentally, and proper care and recuperation are essential. During this period, the support and understanding of family members are equally important. By facing abortion with scientific methods and the right attitude, women can better protect their health and lay a solid foundation for their future life.
