Symptoms of missed abortion

During abortion, the most obvious symptom of incomplete abortion is that women will have long-term vaginal bleeding. At this time, they must go to the hospital for examination and, if necessary, undergo uterine curettage, especially for those who have medical abortion, because medical abortion is less harmful to the body, but the phenomenon of incomplete abortion is also very frequent, and they will feel pain. So what are the symptoms of incomplete abortion by medical abortion?

The symptoms of incomplete miscarriage mainly include vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal pain, prolonged bleeding, and heavy bleeding. If the amount of bleeding is greater than the menstrual volume and abdominal pain occurs at the same time, you must go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination as soon as possible to rule out the possibility of incomplete miscarriage. If there is still a small amount of vaginal bleeding one week or more than 10 days after the abortion, it may be an incomplete abortion and you must get checked as soon as possible. If there is an incomplete miscarriage and there are residues in the uterine cavity, a curettage must be performed as soon as possible to avoid heavy bleeding and post-abortion infection, which will have a significant impact on future pregnancies.

If the embryo has not been expelled naturally within 2 months after it stops developing, it is called missed abortion. If the discharge is not complete, it may cause heavy bleeding or abdominal pain. After a missed abortion, you should take adequate rest. It is best to stay in bed for the first three days. If there is little bloody discharge from the vagina and no abdominal pain or other discomfort, you can get up and move around. At the same time, you should pay attention to personal hygiene.

Generally, it takes one month for the endometrium to fully recover after uterine cleaning. Based on your situation, the time for the next uterine cleaning is usually used to calculate. After uterine curettage, an ultrasound examination is performed to check whether there are any residual echoes in the uterus.

Precautions after abortion

1. Keep the breast meridians unobstructed after abortion

During miscarriage, the newly developed mammary glands stop growing, the alveoli become smaller and even disappear, and the mammary glands recover. However, this recovery is usually incomplete, so it is easy to induce lobular hyperplasia of the breast. Causes breast lumps and breast pain. If the meridians are blocked, there will be pain. If you dredge the meridians as soon as possible, the suddenly stagnant Qi and blood will start flowing. You can avoid breast lumps and breast pain caused by improper confinement.

2. Careful care of the uterus after miscarriage

During medical abortion, the mother's cervix and endometrium are inevitably damaged, and the wounds to the cervix cause the uterus's own resistance to decrease. The cervix itself is a susceptible site for HPV infection, and modern science has confirmed that HPV infection is directly related to cervical cancer.

During the confinement period, the uterus must be fully protected, including increasing the resistance of the uterus, promoting rapid repair of the uterus, and completely expelling blood stasis.

3. Pay more attention to rest and diet after medical abortion

Traditional Chinese medicine points out that the care required for a miscarriage is ten times that of a normal birth, which means that abortion or miscarriage suddenly terminates the normal physiological process of the human body, which causes greater harm than a normal delivery, so you must pay attention to recuperation. Although it doesn’t mean you have to stay at home for a month after giving birth, you should at least stay at home for half a month after a miscarriage.
