How long does bleeding last after an abortion?

Generally speaking, women will bleed for 7-14 days after an abortion, but it may start earlier or later. If the bleeding time is longer or the amount of bleeding is heavier, or if symptoms such as abdominal pain occur, the possibility of an incomplete abortion should be considered, and you need to go to the hospital in time for a clear diagnosis and take appropriate treatment measures. Of course, bleeding after an abortion should not be more than the normal menstrual volume. Generally speaking, bleeding will stop in a few days or so after an abortion, and will not exceed two weeks at most. A less traumatic abortion with pain relief may even stop bleeding on the same night. If bleeding after a pain relief abortion exceeds a week, it may be because of a lack of good rest, so the uterus cannot recover well. This situation is called uterine contraction. It may also be continued bleeding caused by inflammation.

However, now women generally choose painless abortion. Compared with traditional abortion methods, the bleeding time of women after painless abortion will be different. Generally, the bleeding will stop 3-7 days after the painless abortion. Therefore, it is normal to bleed for 3-7 days after the abortion. But some people bleed for a longer time, and some people even do not bleed at all, which is also normal. However, if the amount of vaginal bleeding exceeds the amount of menstrual blood, lasts too long, or the discharge has a foul odor and is accompanied by symptoms such as fever and abdominal pain, you should seek medical attention promptly.

In addition, the average time for women to resume menstruation after abortion is 33.8 days, with the earliest being 13 days and the latest being 113 days. About 67.4% of women resume ovulation around 22 days after abortion. If women experience increased abdominal pain or other discomfort, they can go to the hospital for treatment. About one month after the operation, they can go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to check whether the abortion was clean and the recovery of the uterus.

After understanding how long bleeding lasts after an abortion, if the bleeding is severe and difficult to stop after an abortion, women should pay attention to timely physical examinations so that they can have some understanding of their specific conditions and avoid damage to their uterus. This is something to pay attention to.
