After an unexpected pregnancy, if there is no plan to have a child, an abortion is usually required in time. Medical abortion is also a common method of abortion.

Is it normal to still have bleeding after a week of medical abortion?

Whether it is abnormal if there is still bleeding one week after a medical abortion cannot be generalized. It needs to be judged based on the bleeding situation. If the bleeding is relatively small, the bleeding time does not exceed two weeks, and there is no abnormal symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, it is normal. It is mainly related to the fact that the uterus has not recovered after the abortion. As time goes by, the uterus slowly recovers, and this symptom will improve and disappear on its own.

However, if there is a lot of bleeding one week after the medical abortion and accompanied by symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, you should be alert. It is very likely caused by incomplete medical abortion or intrauterine infection. The patient should have an ultrasound examination as soon as possible, and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment after the cause is confirmed, so as not to greatly affect your health.

If it is confirmed that the infection is caused by intrauterine infection, symptomatic antibiotic treatment should be used as soon as possible. In addition to oral antibiotics, antibiotic infusion therapy can also be used. Generally speaking, infusion therapy is more effective and takes effect faster, and will not cause the patient to suffer a lot of pain. During the treatment period, you must ensure a light diet and avoid eating raw, cold, spicy and other irritating foods.

Once the bleeding symptoms are confirmed to be caused by incomplete abortion, the appropriate treatment plan should be selected as soon as possible based on the size of the residue. Smaller residues can be treated with medication, such as: Xinsheng Biotechnology Granules, Motherwort, etc. As long as the medication is used correctly for a few days, it can help expel the residue. However, if the residue is relatively large and the effect of drug treatment is not obvious, curettage surgery should be used as soon as possible to avoid the residue staying in the uterus for too long, otherwise it will induce many gynecological inflammations.

As long as you pay attention to the bleeding after medical abortion and promptly diagnose and treat any abnormalities, you can ensure the treatment effect and prevent the disease from developing seriously. During this period, you must maintain an optimistic and cheerful mood. A stable mentality is helpful for physical recovery after surgery. You should eat more foods that are beneficial to physical and uterine recovery, especially foods that have the effect of replenishing blood and qi.
