Bleeding a little bit every day after abortion

Generally speaking, women will experience heavy bleeding after an abortion, but some women find that their bleeding is relatively light after an abortion, and they are very worried whether it is caused by incomplete abortion. So what does less bleeding after an abortion mean, and what are the common problems after an abortion? Let's learn about it together.

What does less bleeding after abortion indicate?

The amount of bleeding after an abortion varies from person to person and is related to whether the abortion was done cleanly. If the abortion is relatively successful, there will generally be very little bleeding, and generally the bleeding after abortion will be less than the normal menstrual flow, so it is normal to have less bleeding after abortion, and there is no need to worry. In addition, the body will recover faster if there is less bleeding after abortion.

Common problems after abortion

1. Pay attention to rest and improve nutrition. You should rest in bed for 2-3 days after the abortion, then you can get out of bed and move around, and gradually increase your activity level. Do not engage in heavy physical work or work in cold water within half a month after the abortion to avoid catching a cold. Pay attention to increasing nutrition, eat more fish, meat, eggs, beans and other protein-rich foods and fruits rich in vitamins to promote the repair of the uterine wall.

2. Keep the vulva clean and refrain from sexual intercourse. After an abortion, the cervix has not completely closed, and the uterine wall also has a repair process. During this period, you must pay attention to maintaining daily cleaning of the vulva, and wash and change sanitary napkins and underwear frequently. You do not need to take a bath in a tub within about half a month after the operation to prevent turbid water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If you have sex too soon after an abortion, it can easily lead to subacute endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and secondary infertility. Therefore, couples are prohibited from having sexual intercourse within one month after an abortion.

3. Observe the bleeding situation. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after abortion, or is even accompanied by lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid discharge with odor and other abnormal symptoms, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination in time.

4. Adhere to good contraceptive measures. After abortion, the functions of the uterus, ovaries and uterus gradually recover, and the uterus and ovaries ovulate on time. If you do not persist in taking contraceptive measures, you will get pregnant again soon. Therefore, after an abortion, a reliable contraceptive method should be chosen as soon as possible, and contraception should always be the main method. Abortion should not be used as a substitute for contraceptive sterilization surgery.

After a woman has undergone an abortion, her body will become weaker and her immunity will be reduced to a certain extent. Therefore, she must pay attention to the conditioning and care of the body after the abortion. In particular, she should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination two weeks after the abortion to check whether the surgery was clean and whether the uterus is in good condition, which will help to restore health as soon as possible.
