I still have bleeding after seven days of medical abortion.

Many people don't know much about medical abortion. Some people know that medical abortion requires the expulsion of the gestational sac and blood clots in their bodies, but they don't know how long it will take. Often due to this reason, some people will worry that there is a problem after bleeding for seven consecutive days. But in fact, it is a normal situation and may continue for a few more days. Generally, it takes two weeks to completely bleed.

How long does bleeding last after medication abortion?

Medical abortion, also known as medical abortion, refers to the method of achieving the purpose of artificial abortion in the early stages of pregnancy without the need for surgery, only through injections or medication. It has been widely used in clinical practice in recent years. So, will there be bleeding after medical abortion? How long will the bleeding last? Let's find out below.

Generally speaking, after medical abortion, decidual tissue will be discharged, which is less than the usual menstrual volume and is dark red. There will be irregular vaginal bleeding for about 15 days after medical abortion, and the specific bleeding time varies from person to person. However, if the bleeding has not stopped for more than 2 weeks after medical abortion, and the amount of bleeding has not decreased, this may be caused by incomplete medical abortion. You should go to a regular hospital for examination immediately. If it is indeed incomplete medical abortion, a uterine curettage surgery is required.

In addition, in addition to incomplete medical abortion causing prolonged bleeding, the following two reasons can also cause prolonged bleeding after medical abortion:

Poor blood coagulation function: Some women are prone to bruises or bulges after slight bumps or pinches. This is most likely caused by poor blood coagulation function. Women with poor blood coagulation function will experience heavy bleeding or prolonged bleeding during medical or surgical abortion.

Uterine infection after medical abortion: If the B-ultrasound shows that there is no residue in the uterus, then long-term bleeding after medical abortion may be caused by uterine infection. Because the blood that flows out after medical abortion is a good culture medium for bacteria, and the bleeding time after medical abortion is long, if not properly cared for, uterine infection is likely to occur, causing prolonged bleeding.

How long is normal bleeding after medical abortion?

Medical abortion refers to the act of achieving an abortion in the early stages of pregnancy without the need for surgery, simply by taking an injection or medication. Currently, the commonly used drugs are mifepristone tablets + misoprostol combined use. The former can cause degeneration and necrosis of the uterine decidua and soften the cervix, while the latter can excite the uterus, cause uterine contraction, and promote the expulsion of the embryo. Generally speaking, after medical abortion, decidual tissue will be discharged, which is less than the usual menstrual volume and is dark red. So, how long is the bleeding after medical abortion considered normal?

Generally speaking, there will be irregular vaginal bleeding for about 15 days after medical abortion, and the specific bleeding time varies from person to person. However, if the bleeding has not stopped for more than 2 weeks after medical abortion, and the amount of bleeding has not decreased, this may be caused by incomplete expulsion of the gestational sac, leading to incomplete abortion. You should go to a regular hospital for examination immediately. If it is confirmed to be an incomplete abortion, a uterine curettage will be required.

In addition, women whose uterus is infected or whose blood coagulation function is poor after medical abortion may also experience prolonged bleeding.

Uterine infection after medical abortion: If the B-ultrasound shows that there is no residue in the uterus, then long-term bleeding after medical abortion may be caused by uterine infection. Because blood is one of the best substances for cultivating bacteria, and the bleeding time after medical abortion is long, if not properly cared for, uterine infection will occur, causing prolonged bleeding.

Poor blood coagulation function: Women with poor blood coagulation function will experience heavy bleeding or prolonged bleeding during medical abortion or surgical abortion.
