Suggest Treatment For Endometrium Thickness
hi I underwent an MTP due to slow growth of embryo in 7 th week 3 days. A check scan was performed after 3days , i.e on 4th day , which reviled endometrium thickness of 15mm. Dr has suggested me to continue the medication misoprostol for 3 more days and come for one more check scan. She has told if it does not reduce i ll to go for D&C. Is it necessary for me to undergo a D&C?

Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Endometrium should be thin after D& C, and there should be no retained products of conception. If the contents of uterine cavity after the procedure are more than 15-20 mm, then drug like misoprostol or methergin is given to facilitate the expulsion of contents. If it does not gets evacuated by then, surgical removal can be resorted to.
