I started bleeding five days after the abortion.

After undergoing an abortion, many women will experience some problems. For example, some women will experience bleeding five days after the operation. In fact, it is normal to have bleeding after an abortion. As long as the bleeding lasts within ten days, there is no need to worry. However, if the amount of bleeding is too large or the bleeding time is too long, you need to go to the hospital for a follow-up visit!

1. Causes of uterine bleeding after abortion

After vacuum extraction or taking medicine, the fetus and placental villous tissue are not completely expelled as we expected. Instead, some tissue remains in the uterus. These tissues will neither heal nor flow out automatically, resulting in a difficult-to-heal wound in the uterus. Normally, after an artificial abortion in early pregnancy, vaginal bleeding is relatively light and the bleeding will stop naturally within 10 days. If the amount of bleeding is heavy and lasts for a long time, and there is lower back or abdominal pain, or heavy bleeding occurs, it may be an incomplete abortion.

2. Nursing measures for uterine bleeding after abortion

1. If the uterine bleeding after abortion is more than the normal menstrual volume, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

2. Women who experience uterine bleeding after abortion should get adequate rest, keep a quiet environment around them, and reduce adverse stimulation. In addition, you should maintain a happy spirit because the menstrual cycle is closely related to nervous activity. Uterine bleeding after abortion can often lead to irregular menstruation.

3. In addition, women who suffer from uterine bleeding after abortion need to eat more fresh green leafy vegetables rich in vitamin C, because vitamin C can promote the recovery and growth of the endometrium. In addition, you should also pay attention to adding blood-enriching foods, such as spinach, red cabbage, pork belly, eggs that are rich in iron, and red dates, black fungus, brown sugar and other foods that have blood-enriching effects. Female patients with uterine bleeding after abortion should avoid eating raw or cold foods, such as cold noodles, cold dishes, cold water, popsicles, ice cream, ice drinks, etc.

3. Precautions for uterine bleeding after abortion

1. Within half a month after artificial abortion, 1.5 to 2 grams of protein should be supplied per kilogram of body weight. Therefore, you can eat more chicken, lean pork, eggs, milk, beans, and bean products.

2. Since the body is weak and prone to sweating, it is advisable to replenish water in small amounts and multiple times. A large amount of water-soluble vitamins are excreted in sweat, especially vitamin C, vitamin B1, and vitamin B2. Therefore, you should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. This also helps prevent constipation.

3. On the basis of a normal diet, appropriately limit fat. Within one week after surgery, fat should be controlled at around 80 grams per day. People with menstrual disorders should avoid eating irritating foods, such as chili peppers, wine, vinegar, pepper, ginger, etc. These foods can stimulate congestion of the sexual organs and increase menstrual volume. Also avoid eating cold foods such as crabs, snails, and clams. Some doctors recommend taking 3 to 5 doses of Shenghua Tang (6 qian of Angelica sinensis, 1.5 qian of Roasted Licorice root, 4 qian of Chuanxiong, 1 qian of Peach Kernel, 1 qian of Black Ginger, and 2 qian of Eucommia ulmoides).
