How long does it take for bleeding to occur after curettage? What should I pay attention to?

In fact, curettage is a common gynecological surgery in clinical practice. But we all know that there will be bleeding after curettage. However, women should pay attention to this phenomenon. If the bleeding time after curettage is too long, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination in time, because this may be a surgical infection or other problems. Therefore, you need to pay attention to various health care after curettage.

Generally, normal women will experience bleeding after curettage, which usually lasts about a week.

The risk of curettage is relatively low. It can help women with heavy menstruation and continuous spotting to stop bleeding. It can also diagnose infection, infertility, cancer, etc. based on the endometrium removed by curettage. The surgery is usually performed under general or local anesthesia. The doctor will first use a special vaginal speculum to open the vagina and fully expose the woman's cervix. After strictly disinfecting the vagina and cervix, he will use a cervical dilator that looks like chopsticks to exaggerate the cervix. After this channel is fully opened, a thin metal curette can be inserted through the cervical canal into the uterine cavity for curettage. If necessary, the endometrium can be sent for pathological examination.

Under normal circumstances, patients only need to rest for one to two days after surgery before they can resume their normal life. There will be vaginal bleeding and some pain in the lower abdomen after the operation. The period after curettage is a special one. Women must maintain a regular life, otherwise bleeding will increase or serious complications will occur. After the operation, women must go to the hospital for observation and treatment in time. Also pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Pay attention to hygiene, clean the vulva, and prohibit bathing and sexual intercourse for one month. At the same time, pay attention to rest, avoid excessive fatigue, wear loose and breathable cotton clothes, and do not wear too tight clothes.

2. Regular work and rest schedule: Women should maintain a regular work and rest schedule after surgery, and are prohibited from drinking alcohol. It is best not to take a bath without the doctor's permission to avoid infection.

The above are a few issues that need to be understood after the curettage. I hope that female friends can pay attention to these common sense. Only when we pay more attention to the understanding of these common sense, then when we encounter this phenomenon, we can deal with it scientifically, especially some health and hygiene after the curettage, as well as various care issues, which are absolutely not to be ignored.
