Bleeding for a few days after an abortion is normal

Nowadays, men and women like to try marriage. They live together before getting married, which often leads to accidents. If they get pregnant accidentally, the first thing they think of is to abort the child and do a painless abortion. But they don’t know what to pay attention to after the painless abortion. Is it normal to have heavy bleeding after the painless abortion? What if the bleeding lasts too long? Why does the bleeding time prolong? Let’s take a look at it today.

Expert answer: There will be bleeding after painless abortion. Generally speaking, bleeding will occur for 3 to 5 days after painless abortion, and the amount of bleeding is not much. This phenomenon is normal, but most women will bleed more. If there is bleeding 10 days after the painless abortion, or if there is abdominal pain, fever, or vaginal bleeding that exceeds the menstrual amount, you should seek medical attention in time. For problems like this, it is best to go to a regular hospital for timely examination and treatment.

Experts on painless abortion emphasize that individual recovery conditions are different. If one has a good physical condition and the operation is done well, it will be clean in 3-5 days at most. If the uterus does not recover well, the bleeding time may be as long as half a month, or it may cause uterine bleeding (functional uterine bleeding). You can take some motherwort paste or Gongxuening, and be careful to avoid fatigue, do not touch cold water, and it is best to rest in bed for a few days. If the situation is not good, for example, the uterine cleaning is not done thoroughly and there is still villous tissue in the uterus, it will also stimulate endometrial bleeding. In that case, you need to do another B-ultrasound to clean the uterus.

Regarding "How long does it take for bleeding to stop after painless abortion?" Painless abortion experts remind: If a woman bleeds too long after painless abortion, it is mainly caused by the following reasons:

Incomplete surgery: After the abortion, vaginal bleeding does not stop, more or less for more than two weeks, and there are varying degrees of lower abdominal pain and back pain. B-ultrasound showed that the uterus was slightly enlarged and there was residual tissue in the uterus. Appropriate treatment should be given according to the different conditions of the patients, such as curettage to remove the intrauterine embryo or its appendages, and anti-infection.

Postoperative infection: Common ones include endometritis, myometritis, adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. Patients experience abdominal pain, abdominal tenderness and rebound pain, and long-term small amounts of vaginal bleeding or irregular bleeding, which is dark red and may be accompanied by an odor. Antibacterial drugs can be given according to the infection situation, supplemented by symptomatic treatment, physical therapy, etc.

After painless abortion, blood and blood clots accumulate in the uterine cavity, which is called uterine cavity hematocele, which is mainly caused by poor uterine contraction after suction curettage. After the second uterine curettage, uterotonics and antibiotics should be given continuously for three days or more.

If you still have irregular periods after a painless abortion, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up check to see if there is an infection or the operation was not done cleanly. Here I suggest that all female compatriots, since you don’t want children, take precautions when enjoying sex. You don’t know that abortion is more harmful to women’s bodies than giving birth!!
