Is it normal to have brown vaginal discharge after abortion?

After an abortion, a woman's menstrual cycle will generally be disrupted, and her leucorrhea may also become abnormal. In the one to two weeks after the abortion, the color of the leucorrhea is generally brown or light yellow. This may be caused by excessive blood retained in the uterus. If the brown color of the leucorrhea does not subside, it may be an infection in the uterus. Sometimes, vaginal discharge is caused by many factors.

One week after the abortion, the leucorrhea becomes turbid and brown. This is usually a symptom of residual blood in the uterus flowing out, so there is no need to worry. Brown leucorrhea after menstruation may be considered as bloody leucorrhea. Generally speaking, some women will experience ovulation bleeding during the ovulation period, that is, mid-menstrual bleeding, which refers to a small amount of bleeding between two normal menstrual periods, which may be accompanied by varying degrees of lower abdominal pain. If the symptoms are mild, no treatment is needed. If the bleeding is heavy or affects fertility, medication can be used for treatment.

Other causes of brown vaginal discharge include: excessive mental stress, external factors, endocrine disorders, taking birth control pills, gynecological diseases, etc. If there are no other discomfort symptoms, no treatment is required.

After the abortion, you must pay attention to post-abortion care, eat more nutritious foods, and avoid doing heavy work, because the abortion will cause the female's physical function to decline. During this period, you must pay attention to hygiene, because many pathogens may take advantage of the opportunity to enter. Do not have sexual intercourse within one month, and pay attention to the color of leucorrhea and secretions.
