Overview
The purpose of this study is to explore the optimal treatment strategy for retained products of pregnancy. Compared with surgical treatment, prospectively observe whether drug-assisted expectant management until the right time for surgery reduce the occurrence of intrauterine adhesions, and thus protect fertility.
Interventions
- Procedure Uterine curettage
Use intravenous general anesthesia (which can be assisted by laryngeal mask) (local anesthesia, epidural anesthesia or endotracheal intubation anesthesia can be selected in special cases), the patient takes the lithotomy position, the anesthesia effect is satisfactory, and the uterine distension fluid is normal saline. The uterine distension pressure is adjusted to maintain at 100-120 mmHg. It is recommended to use a diagnostic and therapeutic integrated hysteroscope with an outer diameter of \< - Drug Expectant care
Patients with no contraindications to medication should take 2mg Bid of Progynova (or a similar dose of Estoril) orally until after surgery (generally, Progynova is still used for about 2-4 weeks after surgery and progesterone withdrawal bleeding is used); take Yimucao granules or Wujia Biochemical Capsules orally for 2 weeks and then stop taking the medicine; check blood β-HCG every week; check uterine and bilateral adnexa 4D color Doppler ultrasound every 2-3 weeks; until the preset surgery ti
