What to do if you have bleeding after induced abortion

We all know that induced labor, like giving birth, can cause great harm to women's bodies. Many women are particularly prone to problems after induced labor, among which bleeding after induced labor is the most common phenomenon. This often makes women particularly worried and afraid. If not treated and relieved in time, there may even be some life problems. Therefore, many women must pay special attention to physical care after induced labor. Let's learn about what to do if bleeding occurs after induced labor?

What to do if you have bleeding after induced abortion

Experts point out that due to different physical conditions and circumstances of each person, the duration of bleeding after abortion is also different.

According to experts, there will generally be 7-14 days of bleeding after an abortion, but the amount of bleeding will not exceed the normal menstrual amount. However, if the amount of bleeding exceeds the normal menstrual amount, or the bleeding time is too long or abdominal pain occurs, the possibility of incomplete abortion cannot be ruled out. You need to go to the hospital for a clear diagnosis and take appropriate treatment measures. The amount of bleeding from artificial induced abortion is less than that from medical induced abortion, and the uterine bleeding time is shorter than that from medical induced abortion. Generally, the bleeding stops within 10 days after the operation. However, it also has disadvantages: there is the possibility of complications of artificial abortion, including incomplete aspiration, missed aspiration, uterine perforation, cervical laceration, postoperative infection, intraoperative and postoperative bleeding, artificial abortion syndrome, cervical and intrauterine adhesions, menstrual disorders, etc.

Usually, bleeding will stop in a few days or so after an abortion, and no more than two weeks at most. A painless abortion with less trauma may even stop bleeding that same night. Bleeding after an abortion should not be heavier than a normal menstrual period. If bleeding lasts for more than a week after a painless abortion, it may be because you did not get enough rest, so the uterus cannot recover well. This situation is called uterine contraction. It may also be that the bleeding continues due to inflammation. If vaginal bleeding is excessive or lasts too long, it may mean incomplete uterine suction, missed suction, uterine perforation, cervical laceration, postoperative rot, intraoperative and postoperative bleeding, cervical and uterine cavity adhesions, menstrual disorders, etc. You should go to the hospital for a check-up immediately. If your vaginal discharge has a distinct odor, or contains yellow or green pus-like discharge, you may have an infection and should seek medical attention promptly.

Induced labor will have a certain impact on women's physical and mental health. The above is an introduction to what to do if bleeding occurs after induced labor. After understanding, we know that there are many reasons for bleeding after induced labor, which are generally related to the physical constitution of the mother. Therefore, when induced labor has to be performed, it is necessary to go to a regular professional hospital for induced labor, which can effectively avoid some unexpected events.
