What to do if there is residue in the cervical canal after spontaneous abortion

If there is any residue in the cervical canal after a miscarriage, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible, undergo professional examination to determine the condition of the residual tissue, and adopt appropriate treatment methods, such as drug therapy, uterine curettage, or wait for natural expulsion, to reduce the risk of infection or other complications.

1. Determine the cause and diagnosis of endocervical remnants

The presence of residual fetal tissue in the cervical canal after miscarriage is due to incomplete expulsion of fetal tissue, which may be related to incomplete emptying after embryonic arrest or weak uterine contractions. Doctors usually use B-ultrasound to determine the presence of residual fetal tissue in the uterus and cervix to determine whether intervention is needed. If the patient experiences abdominal pain, persistent vaginal bleeding, or fever, medical help should be sought immediately.

2. Treatment methods and treatment suggestions

-Medication

It is suitable for cases with less residual tissue and no signs of infection. Commonly used drugs include mifepristone and misoprostol, which can promote uterine contraction and discharge of residual tissue. After treatment, it is necessary to recheck to confirm whether the residual tissue has been completely discharged.

- Uterine curettage

If the residual mass is large or drug treatment is ineffective, the doctor may recommend a uterine curettage to remove the contents of the uterine cavity. Uterine curettage usually includes vacuum aspiration or curettage, which is safer but needs to be performed by an experienced doctor to reduce damage to the uterus.

-Natural excretion method

If the residual amount is small and there are no obvious persistent symptoms, the doctor may recommend observation and waiting. Usually, through the woman's own menstrual cycle and the self-repair function of the uterus, some tissue can be discharged naturally, but it needs to be monitored regularly under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Daily care and postoperative recovery

-Pay attention to rest and nutritional supplements

After miscarriage, the body is weak and needs proper rest and intake of nutrients such as protein, iron, zinc, such as lean meat, eggs, beans, etc., to promote uterine recovery and enhance immunity.

-Keep the vagina clean

Avoid using vaginal douches or baths, which increase the risk of infection. Wear cotton underwear and change it frequently.

-Avoid sexual intercourse and pay attention to abnormal symptoms

Avoid sexual intercourse within 1 month after abortion, and pay close attention to abnormalities in the amount, color or odor of vaginal bleeding. If you have persistent abdominal pain or fever, you need to return to the doctor in time.

The residual problems after spontaneous abortion need to be taken seriously. Timely treatment can not only reduce the occurrence of complications, but also provide protection for subsequent uterine recovery and fertility planning. If you feel any discomfort, please be sure to see a doctor and follow the doctor's instructions for standardized treatment.
