Bleeding with odor

When an unexpected pregnancy occurs, if the child is not to be kept, the pregnancy must be terminated promptly. The most common methods of terminating pregnancy are surgical termination and medical termination. Medical abortion is simple to perform, low-cost, and private, so many people choose to terminate their pregnancy using medication. So, why does bleeding caused by medication have an odor? Let’s take a look below.

After medical abortion, the lochia discharged from the body usually takes 1 to 3 weeks and will become less over time. Under normal circumstances, it will be dark red and have a bloody smell. However, if there is a foul odor after medical abortion, it may be considered as vaginitis caused by genital infection.
