Brown discharge after abortion

Abortion is a popular surgical procedure in today's society. Some people who become pregnant unexpectedly and do not want the child will choose to go to the hospital for an abortion. However, after the abortion, brown secretions will be discharged. This is mainly because the inner wall of the uterus is thin and easy to fall off, resulting in a small amount of blood and secretions. After an abortion, the body's immunity will be reduced, making it more susceptible to infection by germs and bacteria. Let's analyze this in detail below.

1. After the placenta is separated during abortion , there may be a small amount of bleeding on the wound left on the uterine wall, which will manifest as red or light red secretions within a week. The amount decreases from large to small and gradually stops. The secretions have no odor and are generally clean within two weeks. Some people bleed for a longer time, some may only bleed for 2-3 days, and some may not bleed at all. These are all normal. If the amount of vaginal bleeding exceeds the amount of menstrual blood, lasts too long, or the discharge has a foul odor and is accompanied by symptoms such as fever and abdominal pain, you should seek medical attention promptly.

2. The reason for abnormal bleeding after abortion is incomplete abortion : After the abortion, vaginal bleeding does not stop, more or less for more than two weeks, and there are varying degrees of lower abdominal pain and back pain. B-ultrasound showed that the uterus was slightly enlarged and there was residual tissue in the uterus. Appropriate treatment should be given according to the different conditions of the patients, such as curettage to remove the intrauterine embryo or its appendages, and anti-infection.

Hematouterine cavity: After abortion, blood and blood clots accumulate in the uterine cavity, which is called hematouterine cavity, mainly caused by poor uterine contraction after suction curettage. After the second uterine curettage, uterotonic drugs and antibiotics should be given continuously for three days or more.

Infection after abortion: Common ones include endometritis, myometritis, adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. Patients experience abdominal pain, abdominal tenderness and rebound pain, and long-term small amounts of vaginal bleeding or irregular bleeding, which is dark red and may be accompanied by an odor.

Antibacterial drugs can be given according to the infection situation , supplemented by symptomatic treatment, physical therapy, etc. Don't worry if brown discharge appears after an abortion. To ensure good health, female friends should take good protective measures after the abortion, do a good job of postoperative hygiene and nutrition intake. If any abnormal situation occurs, go to the hospital for examination in time.
