I have had an abortion for 11 days and the bleeding has increased

Medical abortion is a method of abortion that many people now choose, mainly through the use of drugs to achieve the effect of removing the gestational sac. This process requires a lot of bloodshed. Usually this bleeding state lasts for two weeks. However, some people feel that the amount of bleeding has increased 11 days after the medical abortion. At this time, many people will have some concerns, but many times it is due to personal reasons, but more often it is due to individual reasons, such as weak blood coagulation or infection. No matter which one it is, it needs to be treated in time.

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.

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.

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.
