Uterine curettage refers to a surgery to scrape and collect endometrial tissue in the uterus. It is a common surgery in obstetrics and gynecology and is also one of the methods of artificial abortion. Normally, once the patient feels well enough (usually the same day), they can resume normal activities. Due to trauma to the endometrium after uterine curettage, there will be vaginal bleeding within two weeks after the operation. Generally, the amount of blood is less than or similar to the menstrual amount, which is normal. Because uterine curettage is divided into diagnostic uterine curettage and therapeutic uterine curettage, the degree of impact on the mother is different, and the duration of postoperative bleeding is also different. But what is certain is that if the bleeding has not stopped for more than two weeks or the amount of blood exceeds the menstrual volume, please go to the hospital immediately. So, there will still be bleeding after curing the uterus.

Bleeding time after uterine curettage

Bleeding usually lasts 3 to 15 days after curettage. Bleeding after diagnostic curettage usually lasts about 3-5 days, and the longest bleeding time does not exceed 15 days.

Diagnostic curettage is abbreviated as curettage, which is divided into general curettage and segmented curettage. General diagnostic curettage is suitable for endocrine abnormalities, which require understanding of endometrial changes and responses to sex hormones, the presence or absence of ovulation, the presence or absence of tuberculosis, etc. Segmented diagnostic curettage refers to the operation of first scraping the cervical canal and then cleaning the uterine cavity. The scrapings are sent for pathological examination separately. It is suitable for diagnosing cervical cancer, endometrial cancer and other uterine malignancies, and can understand the scope of the cancer. Diagnostic curettage causes much less harm to the human body than therapeutic curettage. Therefore, bleeding after diagnostic curettage generally lasts for about 3-5 days, and the longest bleeding time does not exceed 15 days.

After therapeutic curettage, bleeding usually stops gradually in about 7 to 10 days, and the longest bleeding time does not exceed 15 days.

Therapeutic curettage can be divided into suction curettage and forceps curettage. Suction curettage: Use a negative pressure suction tube to suck out the contents of the uterine cavity. Curettage: Use oval forceps to remove the contents of the uterine cavity, and then perform uterine cleaning.

The indications for therapeutic uterine curettage include: those who wish to terminate the pregnancy in early pregnancy, suction curettage within 3 months of pregnancy, and forceps curettage to remove residual materials in the uterine cavity after 3 months of pregnancy and after induced labor. Patients with incomplete abortion, inevitable abortion, missed abortion, retained placenta, hydatidiform mole, etc. who need to empty the uterine cavity. In the past, uterine curettage was quite painful. but. With the development of science and technology, painless uterine curettage is now adopted because the painless uterine curettage operating room uses intravenous anesthesia. The surgery is usually performed without the patient's knowledge, and is completed after the patient wakes up.

It should be noted that therapeutic curettage is often used in artificial abortion, which causes great harm to the female uterus and the recovery time is longer than that of diagnostic curettage. Therefore, bleeding usually stops gradually in about 7 to 10 days after therapeutic curettage, and the longest bleeding time does not exceed 15 days.

Nursing for bleeding after uterine curettage

Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition. After curettage, you should rest in bed for 2 to 3 days, then you can get out of bed and move around, gradually increasing the activity time. Do not engage in heavy physical labor and avoid contact with cold water within half a month after uterine curettage. It takes about a month for the uterus to recover after curettage. Therefore, we should pay attention to increasing nutrition, taking in adequate protein, enhancing the body's resistance to disease, and promoting the early repair of injured organs. After the uterus cleaning, you should eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up your body's recovery.

Keep the vulva clean and hygienic, and avoid sexual intercourse. After curettage, the cervix has not yet closed and the endometrium also has a repair process. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. Do not take a bath in a tub within half a month after the operation to prevent unclean water from entering the vagina, leading to bacterial invasion and infection. Avoid sexual intercourse within one month after uterine curettage.

Observe the bleeding situation and prevent the condition from worsening. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after curettage, and is accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

Pay attention to contraception to avoid pregnancy again. After curettage, the ovarian and uterine functions gradually recovered and the ovaries ovulated on schedule. If you don't stick to contraception, you will get pregnant again soon. Some women get pregnant again in the same month after having an abortion, which has a greater impact on the body. Therefore, reliable contraceptive measures should be chosen. Abortion can only be used as a remedial surgery as a last resort after contraceptive failure. Abortion should never be used as a contraceptive measure to protect the physical and mental health of women.

Pay attention to a balanced diet, especially foods rich in protein and iron, such as eggs, lean meat, spinach, pork liver, etc. Secondly, you should be careful not to take tonic wine immediately. For example, sesame oil chicken wine, ginseng, and angelica wine should be consumed after one week, because they may affect uterine contraction and increase bleeding problems. Protein is an important component of antibodies. If it is insufficient, the body's resistance will be reduced. Within half a month after an artificial abortion, 1.5 to 2 grams of protein should be given per kilogram of body weight, and the daily amount is about 100 to 150 grams. Therefore, you can eat more chicken, lean pork, eggs, milk, beans, and bean products. If a woman is seriously weak, she can eat some soup to improve her condition.
