The bleeding is still there on the 7th day of medical abortion

Women need to recuperate for a long time after a miscarriage, because miscarriage not only affects the uterus, but also causes certain damage to other parts of the body. Especially after medical abortion, women's bodies will bleed heavily, so they not only need to supplement nutrition, but also need to replenish blood. Some women still experience bleeding symptoms several days after having a medical abortion. So, what should I do if there is still blood clot on the seventh day of medical abortion?

1. Normal bleeding time

Under normal circumstances, the bleeding time after the gestational sac is expelled by medical abortion is about 18 days, and the amount of bleeding decreases day by day. Therefore, if the amount of bleeding increases instead of decreasing, or the bleeding time exceeds 18 days, these are abnormal manifestations and you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

2. Causes of prolonged bleeding

Generally speaking, the reasons for prolonged bleeding time are mainly the following two points: first, the detachment of fetal membranes or incomplete expulsion of the fetal sac; second, the infection caused by medical abortion, which leads to the occurrence of endometritis and may also cause continuous bleeding.

3. Related nursing measures

In order to prevent the above situation from occurring and help the body to get healthy as soon as possible, there are several points that need attention: To prevent infection, sexual intercourse should be prohibited within one month after medical abortion; shower should be used when bathing, and tub bath is prohibited; use hot water to wash your hair and feet, and ensure adequate rest; pay attention to scientific and nutritious diet, eat a light diet, and do not eat irritating foods.

1.Ultrasound examination. Before performing medical abortion, a strict B-ultrasound examination must be carried out. Medical abortion can only be performed if the gestational sac is normal. If it is an ectopic pregnancy, medical abortion is prohibited.

2. Choose the best time. Choosing the best time for medical abortion can greatly increase the success rate. Generally speaking, the best time to have a medical abortion is within 49 days after the last menstrual period stopped.

3. Pregnant women are in good health. Pregnant women should be under 40 years old and in good health. Pregnant women with serious illnesses such as heart disease, abnormal liver and kidney function, anemia or hypertension should not use medical abortion.

5. Respect doctor’s advice. You must strictly follow the doctor's instructions and go for regular follow-up visits. This is something you absolutely cannot take lightly. Nowadays, medical abortion has become an event that people often encounter. However, the precautions are very complicated and require special attention. Therefore, you must fully understand the relevant precautions in advance, carefully consult your doctor, preset all possible situations, and make adequate preparations for medical abortion. This is also a manifestation of being responsible for your own body.
