How many days of bleeding is normal after an abortion?

Terminating a pregnancy by artificial services or drugs in the first three months of pregnancy is called early pregnancy termination, which can also be called abortion surgery. It is used as a preventive measure against accidental pregnancy, and is also used to terminate a pregnancy due to medical reasons that make it unsuitable for pregnancy again, or to prevent congenital malformations or genetic diseases. Abortion can be divided into two types: surgical abortion and medical abortion. Common methods include vacuum aspiration abortion, forceps curettage and medical abortion.

The general bleeding time after abortion is 7 to 10 days, and the amount of bleeding is generally small. If it exceeds ten days, it may be considered that there is residue, infection, or incomplete uterine repair. Therefore, it is generally recommended to have a follow-up B-ultrasound ten days after the operation to determine whether there is any residue. In addition, if combined with infection, vaginal bleeding requires anti-infection treatment. In order to prevent poor uterine repair after surgery, prevent uterine adhesions, and prevent infection, short-term emergency contraception can be taken immediately after abortion to accelerate surgical recovery.

The above health knowledge is for reference only. For detailed information, you need to go to a regular hospital for examination and have a professional doctor make the diagnosis. Do not self-diagnose or seek medical treatment.

Vaginal bleeding is normal after an abortion because there is residual blood and a small amount of decidua-like tissue in the uterine cavity. The uterus will also bleed during the repair process. This type of bleeding is relatively small and usually lasts for about seven days, and no more than ten days at most. If there is still vaginal bleeding after ten days, you must go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to rule out incomplete abortion, because vaginal bleeding after abortion may be an incomplete abortion or an infection in the uterine cavity. If bleeding and abdominal pain occur at the same time, the possibility of infection is still relatively large, and treatment should be started as soon as possible. If it is pelvic inflammatory disease or endometritis, treatment is more inconvenient and takes a longer time.

What should you pay attention to after having an abortion?

FAQ 1: No matter which method of abortion we choose, we must go to a more reliable hospital for treatment. If we choose abortion within 70 days, we can choose medical abortion and painless abortion. These two methods of abortion do not require surgery, but we must understand that abortion is very harmful to the human body. We need to rest after abortion and cannot work immediately. It is best for everyone to rest at home for more than a week. When we rest at home, we need to recuperate and must use our eyes and brains less. If we have an abortion after more than 3 months, we need to adopt the method of induced abortion. This method does not require opening the uterus, but requires using drugs to contract the uterus. Everyone must understand that the harm of induced abortion to the human body is greater than giving birth. We need to rest for more than a month.

FAQ 2: Everyone must pay attention to the hygiene of their private parts after an abortion, because there will be strong secretions after miscarriage. Because miscarriage will cause certain damage to our uterine wall, the recovery state of different groups is different, and the cleaning time of secretions will also be different.

Note three: We must pay attention to bleeding after an abortion. There will be a period of pink discharge after an abortion and after delivery, and the amount will gradually decrease. In the meantime, it may recur due to various reasons, but everyone must understand that it is a normal situation. However, if there is an increase in blood volume or the bleeding lasts too long, we must pay special attention.
