How to deal with possible infection caused by painless abortion

Painless abortion is a very mature surgery. In regular medical institutions and with experienced doctors, painless abortion generally does not cause any infection. However, in some small hospitals, it is very likely to cause some infection due to improper painless abortion surgery, which requires relevant treatment.

1. Pay attention to infection control

The treatment principle of painless abortion infection is to actively control the infection and remove intrauterine residues as soon as possible.

2. Treatment of vaginal bleeding

If vaginal bleeding is not much after painless abortion, broad-spectrum antibiotics should be used for 2-3 days, and curettage should be performed after the infection is controlled. If vaginal bleeding is heavy, intravenous antibiotics and blood transfusion should be given, and oval forceps should be used to remove the residual tissue in the uterine cavity to reduce bleeding. Do not use a curette to scrape the uterine cavity completely to avoid spreading the infection.

III. Management of septic shock

Broad-spectrum antibiotics should continue to be given after curettage, and thorough curettage should be performed after the infection is controlled. If septic shock has occurred, emergency treatment should be given. If the infection is severe or an abscess is formed in the abdomen and pelvis, surgical drainage should be performed, and the uterus should be removed if necessary.

The above are the treatment measures for the infection that may be caused by painless abortion, which must be taken seriously.
