Introduction
The uterine region shows poor blood flow signals, a term used in gynecological color Doppler ultrasound. This typically occurs after medical or surgical abortion when residual materials remain in the uterine cavity. A serum HCG test is required: if HCG levels are low, follow your doctor's instructions to take medications such as Gongxuening granules, Yimucao granules, or Wuji Baifeng pills for regulation; if HCG levels are high, prompt curettage (dilation and curettage) surgery is necessary.

Generally speaking, "inadequate blood flow signals in the uterine region" is a term used in gynecological color Doppler ultrasound, indicating the presence of retained material within the uterine cavity. The specific analysis is as follows:

After medical or surgical abortion, patients should promptly return to the hospital for follow-up examination. If a color Doppler ultrasound reveals inadequate blood flow signals in the uterine area, this is primarily due to retained tissue within the uterine cavity. Patients should undergo an HCG test: if HCG levels are not significantly elevated, it suggests only a small amount of residual tissue remains. In such cases, patients may follow their doctor's instructions to take medications such as Gongxuening granules, Yimucao granules, or Wuji Baifeng pills to enhance uterine contractions and promote the expulsion of residual tissue. However, if HCG levels are high, oral medication is generally ineffective, and a prompt curettage procedure (dilation and curettage) is required to prevent secondary infections.

During treatment, patients should maintain emotional stability, practice good personal hygiene, and consume a diet rich in high-protein foods such as meat and legumes to support faster recovery.
