A lot of blood clots were discharged after the abortion

Medical abortion is a common method of abortion and can cause great harm to women's bodies. After medical abortion, a lot of large blood clots are discharged, which is normal. The blood clots are mainly endometrial tissue and embryonic tissue. Friends who choose medical abortion must follow the doctor's advice, because some friends are not suitable for medical abortion, which may pose a threat to their health and even life.

Drugs with abortion effects such as mifepristone and misoprostol tablets will cause substantial trauma to the uterus, causing a large amount of blood to flow out of the uterus. At the same time, a series of reactions will occur in the uterus and embryonic tissues. The endometrial tissue, gestational sac, placenta and other embryonic tissues will gradually fall off and be discharged from the vagina with the blood. Pregnant women may find large blood clots flowing out of their vagina after taking abortion drugs. In fact, these are endometrial tissue or embryonic tissue stained with blood. This shows that medical abortion has worked, which means that it is completely normal for the blood clots discharged after medical abortion to be larger.

An important sign of successful medical abortion is that the gestational sac is completely expelled. The blood clots discharged from the vagina after medical abortion are mainly endometrial tissue stained with blood and other things, while the color of the complete gestational sac should be light white and a little transparent, and the shape is round like a ball, or a slightly elongated oval. If the complete gestational sac cannot be expelled successfully, even if other tissues in the uterus are expelled, it is considered an incomplete medical abortion and surgery must be performed.

The above is the explanation on the question of whether it is normal for the blood clots discharged after medical abortion to be large. Pregnant women who are having an abortion through oral medication are advised to put the discharge after the abortion in a clean container. If you cannot judge whether the abortion is successful, then bring the discharge to the doctor during the follow-up examination to determine whether the embryonic tissue has been completely discharged.

What are the dangers of medical abortion?

1. Cause inflammation: Since the embryonic sac tissue in the uterine cavity can be discharged on the same day after medical abortion, sometimes the pregnancy tissue is not completely discharged, the uterine membrane is not restored well, and the vaginal bleeding time is longer, which can last for 2-3 weeks or even 1-2 months. Long-term chronic blood loss can cause anemia and reduce the body's resistance. At this time, bacteria often travel back through the vagina and cause inflammation of the endometrium.

2. Low success rate: In recent years, there have been many cases of infertility and gynecological inflammation caused by going to the hospital for curettage surgery due to poor abortion results from medical treatment. Mifepristone, which is used for medical abortion, has only been around for a little over a decade, and clinical trials are not sufficient. The success rate is only 75%.

3. Cause infertility: Medical abortion can easily lead to fallopian tube blockage and cervical adhesion, causing infertility. Incomplete medical abortion and improper uterine curettage surgery may also cause infertility. Medical abortion causes excessive damage to the uterus and ovaries, and is therefore one of the causes of infertility.
