How long does it take to be clean after induced abortion?

After an unexpected pregnancy, many women are struggling with the question of whether to keep the baby or not. After all, it is a little life growing in their bodies. However, due to many issues such as work and life, they often miss the time for an abortion. If the fetus is too large, they can only terminate the pregnancy by induced labor. Induced labor and artificial abortion are essentially similar to normal delivery, and both require the discharge of lochia after delivery. The following article introduces the time of lochia discharge. If you are not familiar with it, you can take a look.

In fact, postpartum lochia is a very normal thing. It depends on what type it is. It is generally divided into three types: 1. Bloody lochia: bright red in color, contains a lot of blood, large amount, and sometimes small blood clots. There is a small amount of fetal membrane and necrotic decidual tissue. 2. Light red in color and contains a lot of serous fluid. There is a small amount of blood, but there is a large amount of necrotic decidual tissue, cervical mucus, uterine exudate, and bacteria. Serous lochia lasts for about 10 days, the serous fluid gradually decreases, the white blood cells increase, and the lochia turns into white lochia. 3. White lochia: sticky and white in color. Contains a large number of white blood cells, necrotic tissue decidua, epidermal cells and bacteria. The white lochia lasted for 3 weeks. Normal lochia has a bloody smell but no odor, lasts for 4 to 6 weeks, and the total amount is about 250ml-500ml, with large individual differences. By observing the lochia, paying attention to changes in its quality and quantity, color and odor, as well as the state of uterine recovery, you can understand whether the uterine recovery is normal.

Generally speaking, lochia will clear up in about three weeks after delivery. However, if two weeks after delivery, the lochia is still bloody, large in amount, accompanied by a foul odor, and sometimes contains rotten meat-like substances or fetal membrane-like substances, and the uterus is poorly restored, then you should consider that there may be residual placenta or fetal membranes in the uterus, and heavy bleeding may occur at any time. When a puerperal infection occurs after childbirth, it can cause endometritis or myometritis. At this time, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a detailed examination. Some women with weaker bodies may wait until six weeks before they are clean.

. If the lochia continues to flow out and the amount does not decrease after this period of time, it is called "impure lochia", also known as "lochia that never stops" or "lochia that never stops".
