Causes of vaginal bleeding after abortion

With the improvement of people's values ​​and outlook on life, abortion is no longer a big deal. Do you know what serious consequences will be caused by initial vaginal bleeding after abortion? What harm will abortion bring to the body? Now let us learn about the relevant knowledge together. I hope this knowledge can help those female friends who do not know how to take care of themselves after abortion. I hope everyone will always pay attention to their physical condition and never take things for granted.

1. Causes of persistent vaginal bleeding after abortion

1. Infectious bleeding: It is more common, mainly because the patient has vaginitis or cervicitis, and has not been treated or treated thoroughly before the operation. The vagina and cervix are not disinfected strictly during the operation, or a few people have sex too early after the operation, causing bacteria to enter the uterine cavity from the cervical opening and cause acute endometritis, myometritis, acute pelvic inflammatory disease, etc., which will cause female friends to bleed for a long time after artificial abortion. The symptoms include continuous vaginal bleeding, dark red or light red blood with a foul odor. In severe cases, there are lower abdominal pain, anal swelling, fever, chills, etc. After the fever occurs, as long as sufficient antibiotics are used, the progression of the disease can be controlled and the bleeding can be stopped.

2. Incomplete abortion bleeding: If a female friend does not scrape out the embryonic tissue cleanly during an artificial abortion, some embryonic tissue will remain in the uterus, which will affect the normal contraction and recovery of the uterus and may cause continuous vaginal bleeding. The bleeding is intermittent and increases, and is bright red in color or comes in blood clots of varying sizes, accompanied by discomfort such as lower abdominal distension and pain, and back pain. A small number of patients may suffer severe bleeding, or even coma or shock, and need to be rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.

3. Cancerous bleeding: rare, but with a poor prognosis, and often misdiagnosed as bleeding from other causes. According to statistics, approximately 0.1% to 3.6% of patients develop choriocarcinoma, or endometrial cancer, after an artificial abortion. If postoperative vaginal bleeding is still ineffective after the above treatment, especially after repeated uterine curettage, one should be highly alert to the possibility of malignant transformation.

4. Poor uterine involution: After a female friend has an artificial abortion, poor uterine involution can also lead to prolonged bleeding after the abortion. This cause is common in cases of induced abortion late in pregnancy, breastfeeding, or after caesarean section, especially in those who get pregnant before marriage and have the surgery secretly. Because they have to work and study immediately after the surgery, their bodies cannot get enough rest and nutrition, and vaginal bleeding will continue after the surgery. This type of patient can quickly achieve the purpose of hemostasis by having a good rest and using uterine contraction agents such as oxytocin, motherwort and other preparations.

2. Normal bleeding

There will also be a certain amount of vaginal bleeding after painless abortion surgery. In the first three months of pregnancy, the chorion and decidua separate, the blood sinuses open, and bleeding begins. When the embryo is completely detached and expelled, the uterus contracts strongly, the blood sinuses close, and the bleeding stops. Therefore, the whole process of early abortion is accompanied by vaginal bleeding. In late miscarriage, the placenta has already formed, and miscarriage is similar to premature and full-term births, and bleeding is usually minimal. Generally, about a week after an abortion, there will be red or light red secretions in the vagina, the amount of which gradually decreases, and there is no offensive odor.

3. How to prevent vaginal bleeding after abortion

1. Cooperate with the doctor's treatment. When you go for an abortion, if you have uterine malformation, uterine fibroids, pregnancy during lactation, etc., you should inform the doctor so that the doctor will pay special attention during the curettage to prevent the residue of pregnancy products.

2. To prevent problems before they happen, take Shenghua Tang oral liquid immediately after miscarriage. If there are any residues, it can promote their excretion. It can also promote uterine contraction and accelerate hemostasis.

3. Pay attention to rest. Rest is the best way to restore your health, but don’t think that sitting and watching idol dramas for two days is also rest. In fact, sitting for a long time will damage your energy and blood, which is not conducive to your body’s recovery.

4. The diet should be balanced. After miscarriage, the vitality is damaged, so you should increase nutrition and eat fish, meat, eggs, poultry, vegetables, fruits, etc. Do not diet or lose weight at this time, but eat less spicy, cold and stimulating foods.

Vaginal bleeding after abortion must be taken seriously. If it is only a small amount of normal bleeding, which is less than the usual menstrual volume, no treatment is required. However, if it exceeds the usual menstrual volume and the blood color is abnormal or the bleeding time is long, it must be paid attention to. Timely examination and treatment must be carried out to see if there is any residual substance to avoid heavy bleeding due to incomplete abortion.
