Why does the amount of bleeding increase on the third day of abortion?

The reason why various regions are now implementing the "free condom" policy is because the chance of accidental pregnancy in today's society is really too high, especially among young people. Once an unexpected pregnancy occurs, the only option is for women to have an abortion, which not only causes harm to the body, but also has adverse social impacts. So, what is the reason for continuous bleeding after abortion?

After the placenta is separated during an artificial abortion, there may be a small amount of bleeding from the wound left on the uterine wall. In this case, as the uterus contracts and the wound heals, vaginal bleeding will gradually stop within 3-5 days and will not exceed 10-15 days at most. If the amount of vaginal bleeding exceeds the amount of menstrual blood and lasts too long, you need to seek medical treatment promptly. You may feel slight lower abdominal discomfort, pain or a small amount of vaginal bleeding on the day after the abortion. The bleeding usually lasts for 3-5 days. As the uterus contracts and the wound heals, the vaginal bleeding gradually stops and does not exceed 10 days.

After an abortion, since the uterus has not fully recovered, sexual intercourse at this time can easily lead to uterine infection. If you do not pay attention to strengthening self-care after the operation, it may lead to prolonged vaginal bleeding, back pain, abdominal pain, menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, infertility, etc.

Information on bleeding after painless abortion: Generally, about a week after the abortion, there will be red or light red secretions in the vagina, the amount of which decreases gradually, and there is no irritating odor. Bleeding after painless abortion may also be caused by the harm of the abortion surgery to the human body.

You should choose a regular hospital for abortion surgery, otherwise there will be complications such as bleeding after painless abortion. If the bleeding time after painless abortion exceeds 15 days, the amount of bleeding is greater than the menstrual volume, the abnormality is that the secretion has a foul odor, and is accompanied by symptoms such as fever and abdominal pain, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment on time to avoid worsening of the condition.

Why does lower abdomen hurt after abortion?

If you have symptoms such as lower abdominal pain about three days after a painless abortion, it is normal because your body has not fully recovered. Based on your description, we cannot be sure whether it is an incomplete abortion. If there is still bleeding or pain after 2 weeks, it may be caused by the following reasons. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination in time.

(1) Incomplete abortion: Artificial abortion procedures sometimes fail. Incomplete abortion means that the chorionic and decidual tissue in the uterine cavity cannot be completely removed during surgery. After the operation, the uterus undergoes paroxysmal contractions in order to expel the remaining embryonic tissue from the uterus. At this time, the patient has paroxysmal attacks of abdominal pain, which is unbearable during the attacks. There is also increased vaginal bleeding, which is bright red in color and contains large blood clots. The abdominal pain is relieved after the blood clots are discharged, and the attacks repeat themselves. When an incomplete miscarriage occurs, a curettage is usually required to scrape out the remaining embryonic tissue in the uterine cavity, and the abdominal pain will disappear naturally. Strengthen anti-inflammatory treatment after surgery to prevent infection.

(2) It may be a postoperative infection: This is one of the possible complications after an abortion. Postoperative infection often occurs within two weeks after surgery. It can be caused directly by the surgical operation or by the patient's failure to pay attention to hygiene after surgery, such as having sexual intercourse, swimming, etc. It usually leads to acute pelvic inflammatory disease, with severe abdominal pain that is persistent and may worsen in paroxysmal forms, accompanied by fever, chills, vaginal bleeding that is bright red, has a fishy odor, or is mixed with yellow discharge. During physical examination, there is abdominal pain that is resistant to pressure, tenderness, and rebound tenderness. Gynecological examination shows cervical motion tenderness, uterine body tenderness, and both adnexa may have flake-like or cord-like thickening with obvious tenderness. If chronic pelvic inflammatory disease occurs, there will be dull abdominal pain, a small amount of vaginal bleeding, an odor, and yellow discharge. .

(3) It may be uterine perforation: This is a very serious complication that may occur during abortion surgery. Most patients experience sudden and severe abdominal pain during perforation, but a small number of people may not feel any obvious pain. The abdominal pain caused by uterine perforation is continuous, with a small amount of vaginal bleeding. If combined with internal bleeding, it may cause peritoneal irritation signs: abdominal pain that refuses to be pressed, tenderness, and rebound pain exist at the same time. Uterine perforation is rare, but it is more likely to occur in women who have an excessively tilted uterus or who become pregnant again within one year of a caesarean section, or who have undergone multiple abortions.
