Causes of bleeding one week after abortion

Because of various reasons that lead to unexpected pregnancy, people have to have an abortion. However, abortion is not without harm to women's bodies, and the harm is quite large. If you are not well taken care of after the abortion, it is very likely that you will not be able to get pregnant and have a child in the end, especially if bleeding occurs. So what exactly causes bleeding for a week?

main reason:

You may feel slight lower abdominal discomfort, pain or a small amount of vaginal bleeding on the day after the abortion. The bleeding usually lasts for 3-5 days. As the uterus contracts and the wound heals, the vaginal bleeding gradually stops and does not exceed 10 days. If vaginal bleeding is excessive or lasts too long, it may mean incomplete suction, missed suction, uterine perforation, cervical laceration, intraoperative and postoperative bleeding, cervical and intrauterine adhesions, menstrual disorders, etc. You should go to the hospital for a check-up immediately.

Color Doppler ultrasound examination is recommended. If it is confirmed that there is tissue residue, you can first use Chinese patent medicine film removal mixture or Shenghua pills for treatment. If the medication is ineffective, you can consider another uterine curettage. Of course, this will cause great damage to the endometrium.

Generally speaking, the amount of bleeding after abortion should not be more than the menstrual volume, the bleeding time should not exceed two weeks, and the abdominal pain should not exceed one week. If it exceeds this range, intrauterine residues, incomplete uterine involution, and uterine cavity infection should be considered.

In addition, you cannot have sexual intercourse, take a sitz bath, or take vaginal medications within one month after an abortion. After an abortion, the endometrium sheds and the cervix relaxes, which can easily cause retrograde infection, leading to intrauterine infection, adnexitis and other pelvic diseases, and even infertility.

After an abortion, the next menstruation will occur about a month after the abortion, and irregular menstruation may occur in the first three months.

This is a normal phenomenon. Generally, there may be a small amount of bleeding one week or half a month after the abortion. This is normal. If it exceeds half a month, you can go to the hospital for a follow-up visit. Generally speaking, it is better to have sexual intercourse one month after an abortion. Since the operation has just been done, contraceptive measures must be taken. Abortion is harmful to a woman's body.

The above explains the reasons for bleeding one week after abortion. The most important thing is to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination once such a phenomenon is discovered. After confirmation, you can rest at home. It is best to rest in bed. This is best for women who have just had an abortion.
