Difference between residue and blood clot

No matter how successful the medical abortion is, blood and blood clots will inevitably be discharged from the vagina. If the medical abortion fails, the residual test tube embryos may also cause blood and blood clots to be discharged from the vagina. However, many people do not know the difference between the normal blood clots that flow out during the medical abortion process and the residual blood clots that flow out during the medical abortion process. Then I will explain to you the differences between medical abortion residues and blood clots.

The difference between the normal blood mass flowing out during the medical abortion process and the blood mass flowing out of the residual medical abortion is mainly the bleeding time. Generally, pregnant women will have blood and blood clots flowing out of the vagina about a week after the abortion. The blood and blood clots flowing out at this time are normal blood clots caused by the abortion. If more than ten days after the pregnant woman had the medical abortion, there is still blood or blood clots flowing out of the vagina, then it is very likely that the bleeding is caused by the test tube embryo tissue remaining in the uterus due to incomplete medical abortion. If the examination finds that there is no residual test tube embryo tissue in the uterus, it is due to infection in the uterus.

Color and smell are also the key differences between normal blood clots caused by medical abortion and blood clots caused by medical abortion residues. The normal blood clots formed during the medical abortion process are generally bright red in color, and the smell is mainly the fishy smell of blood. The remaining blood clots from medical abortion are generally darker in color, possibly dark brown or even gray-black, and may have a pungent odor. This is because the test tube embryo tissue produces a lot of toxins and bacteria in the uterus.

The above is the explanation of the differences between medical abortion residues and blood clots. Pregnant women who have undergone medical abortion should go to a reliable abortion hospital in time to receive appropriate diagnosis and treatment if they find symptoms of incomplete abortion, so as to avoid uterine infection or other serious gynecological diseases.
