After an unexpected pregnancy, women will choose medical abortion to stop the loss in time in order to prevent the situation from getting worse.

What is the cause of brown discharge after medical abortion?

Bleeding after medical abortion usually lasts for 1-3 weeks, and the overall symptom is that the bleeding becomes less and less day by day. Medical abortion is actually very unsafe. It can be said that medical abortion often does not result in complete abortion, and it also brings many sequelae, which are very destructive to women's future fertility and body. So, what is the reason for brown discharge after medical abortion?

There will be bleeding for a period of time after medical abortion. Generally speaking, the bleeding will stop on the sixth day after medical abortion. If a small amount of brown discharge appears after intercourse, it is generally a small amount of discharge from the uterine cavity as progesterone gradually disappears. A small amount is normal, and there is no need to worry too much if there are no discomfort symptoms. However, if the amount of brown secretions is relatively large, it may be due to the slow loss of progesterone. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination.

If a woman bleeds for a long time or with heavy bleeding after medical abortion, she must be alert to the problem of incomplete abortion. The following editor will introduce to you the symptoms of incomplete abortion.

1. Medical abortion is not clean, disgusting, and greasy. If you experience lower abdominal pain and persistent vaginal bleeding, you should immediately go to a regular hospital for a gynecological examination and B-ultrasound.

2. If medical abortion is not done cleanly, infection may occur. Experts recommend that it is best to go to the hospital for a follow-up visit after a medical abortion. If the B-ultrasound shows that there is no residue in the uterus, then intrauterine infection should be considered, because the blood from the abortion is a good breeding ground for bacteria. If the condition is serious, there will be tenderness in the uterus and fever during gynecological examination.

Regarding the question of whether medical abortion is clean, Beijing medical abortion experts pointed out that on the fourth day of taking the medicine, that is, after the last dose of the medicine, the embryonic tissue is generally expelled within 4-6 hours. After the blood clot is discharged after medical abortion, the abdominal pain will gradually stop and the amount of bleeding will be greatly reduced. However, whether it is completely discharged needs to be identified.

Medical abortion usually expel the embryo within 3-6 hours. Medical abortion is not painless as some advertisements claim. During the process of medical abortion, the person taking the medicine will experience nausea and abdominal pain. In addition, the success rate of medical abortion is lower than that of curettage. If it is unsuccessful, the patient will face the pain of repeated miscarriage. Even if successful, the bleeding time will be longer, so do not downplay the pain of medical abortion, as the pain will last more than a few minutes.

Best time for medical abortion

Medical abortion can only be performed if it is an intrauterine pregnancy. If it is an ectopic pregnancy, medical abortion may cause heavy bleeding. When is the best time for medical abortion? The best time for medical abortion is generally within 7 weeks (49 days) of pregnancy (calculated from the start of menstruation). The drug is most sensitive between the 35th and 40th days, while abortion can usually be performed within 12 weeks of knowing the pregnancy.

Medical abortion generally requires taking two kinds of medicine. First, take the medicine to inhibit the development of the embryo. After 2-3 days, take the medicine to contract the uterus to expel the embryo. Most people will experience abdominal pain caused by uterine contractions two hours after taking the latter medicine. Generally, you can go home after being observed in the hospital for six hours after taking the medicine. Bleeding will continue for 1-2 weeks afterwards. Afterwards, you can go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound check to see if it has been completely eliminated. Experts remind that even if you choose medical abortion, you must go to the hospital to do it and do not buy the drugs on your own.
