Why does lochia occur after abortion?

Nowadays, due to many reasons, such as work pressure, economic pressure, family pressure, social pressure, etc., many people have abortions. We can see many people having abortions in the hospital every day. These people are pregnant unexpectedly without being prepared. Many of these people who have abortions will have lochia. So why does lochia occur after abortion?

One way to say this is:

1. Lochia after abortion is residual tissue: it may be due to advanced pregnancy, uterine malformation, uterine fibroids, etc., or it may be due to the unskilled operation operator, resulting in incomplete removal of pregnancy tissue, causing some tissue to remain in the uterine cavity. In addition to the unclean lochia, the amount of bleeding varies, with blood clots inside, and is accompanied by intermittent abdominal pain. 2. Lochia after abortion is a uterine cavity infection: it may be caused by taking a tub bath after abortion, or unclean perineal pad, or having sexual intercourse shortly after abortion, or by the operator's failure to disinfect the operation properly. At this time, the lochia has a foul odor, there is tenderness in the abdomen, and it is accompanied by fever. A blood test shows an increase in the total white blood cell count. 3. Lochia after abortion is caused by weak uterine contractions: It may be due to failure to rest well after abortion, or poor health, or the operation time is too long, which consumes qi and blood, resulting in weak uterine contractions and continuous lochia.

What should I do if the lochia is not clear after an abortion? It is recommended to take Gongxuening plus Yimucao granules and continue taking it until the bleeding stops and the lochia is clear.

Another way to say this is:

After an abortion, women suffer varying degrees of physical and psychological trauma. Some women will have unclean lochia after an abortion, and they have to worry about it, which makes them physically and mentally exhausted. What are the three main factors that lead to unclean lochia after abortion? Gynecologists made a detailed introduction, hoping to provide some help to women of childbearing age. (Lochia: blood congestion in the uterine cavity)

Generally speaking, the lochia will clear up in two or three days after an abortion, and rarely exceeds 10 days. If it is still not clear up more than 20 days after an abortion, it is an abnormal phenomenon. So what are the factors that cause unclean lochia after abortion? It is usually divided into three situations: 1. Residual tissue, which may be due to the advanced pregnancy, uterine malformation, uterine fibroids and other factors, or due to the unskilled operation operator, resulting in incomplete removal of the pregnancy tissue, causing some tissue to remain in the uterine cavity. At this time, in addition to the unclean lochia, the amount of bleeding varies, with blood clots inside, and is accompanied by intermittent abdominal pain. 2. Uterine infection may be caused by taking a bath in a tub after an abortion, using unclean sanitary napkins, having sex soon after an abortion, or by factors such as inadequate disinfection by the operator. At this time, the lochia has a foul odor, there is tenderness in the abdomen, and it is accompanied by fever. A blood test shows an increase in the total white blood cell count. 3. Weak uterine contractions. This may be due to failure to get a good rest after the abortion, or due to poor health or the operation lasting too long, which consumes Qi and blood, resulting in weak uterine contractions and continuous lochia.

Warm reminder: It is very important to choose the appropriate surgical method for abortion surgery. Patients are advised to be cautious, conduct a thorough examination before the operation, and choose the appropriate surgical method based on their specific circumstances.

In fact, it is normal to have lochia after an abortion. It will also occur after a normal delivery. This is mainly due to some substances in your uterus that nurture the baby, so don’t worry too much. But after all, abortion is harmful to the body. I do not recommend it, but if you must have one, it is best to choose a very good hospital, otherwise it will cause great harm to your body.
