There is still blood on the eleventh day of medical abortion

Medical abortion is one of the main methods of abortion in medicine. Compared with other methods, this one can be completed without surgery. I believe many people who have a certain understanding of medical abortion will know that medical abortion mainly uses drugs to expel the gestational sac in the body, mainly through the discharge of blood clots from the vagina. It takes a relatively long time, and not everyone knows how long it takes. So is it normal to still bleed eleven days after medical abortion? In fact, it is normal to have bleeding within two weeks after medical abortion. The explanation is given below.

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.

What to do if bleeding lasts long after medical abortion

Normally, there will be irregular vaginal bleeding for about 15 days after medical abortion, and the specific bleeding time varies from person to person. But if the bleeding time after medical abortion exceeds 2 weeks or more, then you need to pay attention! So, what should I do if the bleeding time after medical abortion is long?

Since there are many reasons for prolonged medical bleeding, different measures should be taken according to different situations.

If the bleeding time after medical abortion is long due to incomplete expulsion of the gestational sac, resulting in incomplete abortion, you need to go to the hospital for a urine pregnancy test and B-ultrasound examination. If it is confirmed to be an incomplete abortion, you should undergo a uterine curettage. Generally, vaginal bleeding will stop within 10 days after the operation.

If the long bleeding time is caused by incomplete decidual exfoliation, but the amount of bleeding is not much, you can take motherwort or Chinese medicine Shenghua Tang, or inject oxytocin to promote uterine contraction to expel the remaining decidual tissue. If the amount of bleeding is more than the usual menstrual volume, the patient generally needs to go to the hospital for a uterine curettage.

It is worth noting that after a medical abortion, the amount of bleeding may suddenly increase significantly, even several times the normal menstrual volume, and may be accompanied by large blood clots. This is caused by the exfoliation and poor discharge of embryonic tissue. At this time, you should go to the hospital immediately for a uterine curettage to stop the bleeding.

Is it normal to have a small amount of bleeding after medication?

It is normal to have a small amount of bleeding after medical abortion. If you are really worried, you can go to the hospital for a follow-up check to confirm your health.

Bleeding after miscarriage usually lasts about 7 to 10 days. After a miscarriage, there may be vaginal bleeding that is less than menstrual blood, which usually lasts for about half a month.

If the bleeding lasts for more than half a month or the amount of blood is more than the menstrual blood, it may be the following:

①Poor uterine contraction can be treated with drugs that promote uterine contraction.

② Incomplete abortion. This situation is often accompanied by lower abdominal pain, which may not be very severe. In this case, another uterine curettage is required. ③ Secondary intrauterine infection, often accompanied by fever or foul-smelling vaginal discharge.

The above situations require doctors to identify and treat. Therefore, if vaginal bleeding occurs after miscarriage, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. After miscarriage, attention should be paid to dietary nourishment, which has a great impact on women's physical health. Because miscarriage causes certain damage to the body and causes loss of a certain amount of blood, coupled with the psychological stress and physical pain during the process, the body is relatively weak after miscarriage. Therefore, food choices should be nutritious and easy to digest and absorb. Animal liver, animal blood, fresh fish, tender chicken, eggs, lean meat, soy products, milk, jujube, lotus seeds, fresh fruits and vegetables can be provided. Do not eat or eat less greasy, raw and cold food. Avoid eating radish, hawthorn, bitter melon, orange and other foods that regulate qi, promote blood circulation, and are cold in nature. Eat more easily digestible food. Proper self-care after abortion is crucial to promoting the smooth recovery of the body and reproductive organs. In addition to medication, you also need to adjust your mental aspect, maintain a balanced mentality, exercise appropriately, and face life with optimism.

The best time for medical abortion

There is a strict time limit for medical abortion. It can only be used by women who are pregnant for no more than 49 days, that is, within one and a half months from the last menstrual period. This is because only during this time, the enlargement of the uterus is not very obvious, and there is not much pregnancy tissue fluid, and the fetus is relatively small. Medical abortion within 49 days of pregnancy can also reduce some of the risks that may be caused by medical abortion. However, in order to ensure your own safety, you need to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time after the medical abortion to see whether the pregnancy tissue is clean. If the medical abortion is incomplete and not handled in time, it may cause heavy bleeding.

In fact, medical abortion cannot be simply discussed, and its cost is affected by many factors. The cost of medical abortion generally ranges from one hundred yuan to several hundred yuan, and the situation varies from place to place. If gynecological inflammation such as cervical erosion is detected before medical abortion, anti-inflammatory drugs will be needed to control the condition and reduce inflammation. In this way, the cost will naturally be higher. Moreover, some people may have incomplete abortion or unclean medical abortion due to not handling matters properly, which requires a uterine curettage operation, which will be more troublesome and naturally more expensive.

Therefore, if the pregnancy is more than 49 days, medical abortion is not allowed. This is because the gestational sac in the uterus will gradually grow larger as the pregnancy progresses. As a result, the gestational sac cannot be completely expelled from the body by drugs alone. It can easily cause heavy bleeding and even threaten life safety. Therefore, women who are preparing for medical abortion must grasp the time.
