One month after the abortion, there is still blood clot

Medical abortion is a common method of abortion. In normal times, many women who have unexpected pregnancies will use medical abortion to terminate their pregnancies. People who have medical abortions are prone to incomplete abortions. Medical abortions require regular follow-up. After medical abortions, you need to rest well to regulate your body. Medical abortions are also very harmful to women's health.

Why is there still blood clot after one month of medical abortion?

If there are still blood clots one month after medical abortion and a B-ultrasound shows no residual blood clots in the uterine cavity, it may be caused by catching a cold or the uterus has not fully recovered. In daily life, you should pay attention to keeping warm, get more rest, and eat more nutrient-rich foods.

How many days does it take for bleeding to stop after medical abortion?

The normal bleeding time after medical abortion is no more than 2 weeks. There will be red or light red discharge in the vagina, the amount of which gradually decreases, and there is no obvious odor. If the bleeding time exceeds 15 days, the amount of bleeding is greater than the menstrual volume, especially the discharge has a bad odor, and is accompanied by fever, abdominal pain and other symptoms, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid worsening of the condition.

Medical abortion can only be performed if it is an intrauterine pregnancy. If it is an ectopic pregnancy, medical abortion may cause heavy bleeding. When is the best time for medical abortion? The best time for medical abortion is generally within 7 weeks (49 days) of pregnancy (calculated from the start of menstruation). The drug is most sensitive between the 35th and 40th days, while abortion can usually be performed within 12 weeks of knowing the pregnancy.

Medical abortion generally requires taking two kinds of medicine. First, take the medicine to inhibit the development of the embryo. After 2-3 days, take the medicine to contract the uterus to expel the embryo. Most people will experience abdominal pain caused by uterine contractions two hours after taking the latter medicine. Generally, you can go home after being observed in the hospital for six hours after taking the medicine. Bleeding will continue for 1-2 weeks afterwards. Afterwards, you can go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound check to see if it has been completely eliminated. Experts remind that even if you choose medical abortion, you must go to the hospital to do it and do not buy the drugs on your own.

Side effects of medical abortion

Generally speaking, the most worrying thing about medical abortion is that it cannot guarantee the success of the abortion. If it exceeds 49 days, medical abortion is not recommended because of the fear that it will lead to heavy bleeding, residual infection and many other abortion sequelae. If the medical abortion is incomplete, further uterine curettage surgery will be required, which is equivalent to secondary damage to the body.

Medical abortion works differently on different people. 70%-80% of people can have a clean abortion, but about 20% have an incomplete abortion and need a curettage. In addition, medical abortion can also cause irregular menstruation in the later period; medical abortion causes prolonged bleeding, increases the chance of infection, and may even cause endometriosis, a terminal disease for fertility.

The following situations are not suitable for medical abortion:

Pregnant women with diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, angina pectoris, arrhythmia, heart failure, hypertension, glaucoma, liver and kidney dysfunction, ectopic pregnancy, ulcerative colitis, adrenal insufficiency, long-term use of glucocorticoids, and insulin-dependent diabetes are strictly prohibited from using medical abortion.

Choose medical abortion within 49 days of pregnancy. The side effects of medical abortion are relatively small, and this period is the best time for medical abortion. Medical abortion refers to the use of Mifepristone tablets plus misoprostol to terminate early pregnancy. The former causes degeneration and necrosis of the uterine decidua and softening of the cervix, while the latter causes contraction of the uterus and promotes the expulsion of the embryo.

It usually takes three to four days to terminate an unwanted pregnancy with medical abortion. Under normal circumstances, it takes four days to take the medicine for medical abortion, on an empty stomach, one tablet each morning and evening for the first three days, and three tablets at a time on the fourth day. Generally, there is no feeling in the first three days, but the pain becomes more severe after taking the medicine on the fourth day. Some people do not react obviously.
