Natural alternatives to D&C ??

[alpine_flower]

Hi,

I am 7 weeks postpartum and started to bleed again 5 days ago. Today an ultrasound showed a 28 mm mass, which was interpreted as retained products of conception. I have no fever or other signs of infection.
I want to avoid a D&C if at all possible!
I have heard that herbs and acupuncture can be used the help the products come out on their own.

Has anyone come across any information on this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

blue cohosh might help, by promoting contrax. Ginger might also be helpful.

Also, were you offered a few days' worth of methergine? The drug also brings strong contraction to the uterus. I would think that a doc would offer something like that before D&C.
