If there is a small or moderate amount of vaginal bleeding, high doses of antibiotics should be administered, along with medications to induce uterine contractions. This can reduce the amount of bleeding after the uterus contracts. If there is suspicion of placental remnants or other residues in the uterine cavity, then a dilation and curettage (D&C) surgery may be necessary. Before surgery, it is essential to prepare blood for transfusion in case of excessive bleeding. Additionally, the tissue removed during the procedure needs to be sent for pathological examination. After the D&C, it is important to continue treatment with anti-inflammatory medications and drugs that promote uterine contraction.
