Post-abortion hemorrhage

Abortion is a method of artificially terminating a woman's pregnancy, which is extremely harmful to the woman's body. Therefore, women should try not to choose abortion unless they have no other choice. Not only does it make women feel very painful during the operation, it also leaves many sequelae to their bodies. Some women find blood accumulation in their uterine cavity after abortion. What causes this?

1. What to do if there is blood accumulation in the uterine cavity after abortion

If it is just a slight blood accumulation, there should be no problem. It is recommended to relax, pay attention to postoperative care, and go to the hospital for a follow-up examination after the menstruation comes to see the recovery of the endometrium, whether there is infection, blood accumulation, etc. In this way, some abnormalities can be discovered and treated early. If there is blood accumulation in the uterine cavity, medication is needed to drain the blood to avoid uterine infection and uterine adhesion. You can take drugs such as Motherwort Granules and Cephalexin for treatment, and go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound check after one week to determine the treatment effect. Blood accumulation in the uterine cavity after abortion may be due to poor uterine involution or residual fetal sac. Both require medication or uterine curettage. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination.

2. What symptoms after abortion require uterine curettage?

1. Patients usually need to stay in the hospital for 4-6 hours after taking the medicine. During the observation period, regardless of whether the embryonic sac is seen to be expelled or not, as long as the patient has severe vaginal bleeding, uterine curettage should be performed immediately to stop the bleeding.

2. The amount of vaginal bleeding after miscarriage is small. You should go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination one week later to confirm the condition of the embryo. If the embryo is not dead and continues to grow, a curettage can terminate the pregnancy; if the embryo is dead but not expelled, a curettage can remove the pregnancy products in the uterine cavity and prevent bleeding and infection.

3. After miscarriage, what conditions require uterine curettage? Although the embryonic sac is seen to be discharged, vaginal bleeding is not clean, or it is sometimes more and sometimes less, sometimes not, for more than three weeks. B-ultrasound examination shows residual tissue. In this case, uterine curettage is needed so that the endometrium can gradually repair. It should be noted that since the long-term presence of pregnancy residues can cause intrauterine infection, leading to endometritis, myometritis or adnexitis, antibiotics must be used before and after curettage to prevent or treat infection.
