Bleeding after reexamination

After an abortion, women generally need a follow-up examination to find out whether the abortion was complete and whether there are any sequelae. However, some women undergo follow-up examinations after miscarriage, and the results are normal, but bleeding still occurs. If the amount and duration of bleeding are normal, there is no need to worry too much. Next, I will introduce to you some relevant knowledge about bleeding after abortion!

1. How long does it take for a woman to recover from bleeding after an abortion?

After an abortion, some wounds will be left on the uterine wall after the placenta is separated. Therefore, the patient's vagina will generally bleed. As the wound heals, the amount of bleeding will become less and less, and the bleeding will disappear within a week. The patient should ensure adequate rest to help the uterus recover quickly.

2. What should be paid attention to in reducing bleeding after abortion?

Generally speaking, vaginal bleeding will gradually stop within 3-5 days after abortion, and no more than 10-15 days at most. If the amount of vaginal bleeding exceeds the amount of menstrual blood and lasts too long, you need to seek medical treatment in time. For a period of time after an abortion, the trauma on the endometrium has not yet healed, the cervical opening is relaxed, the original mucus plug in the cervix has been removed, and a new mucus plug has not yet formed. If you do not pay attention to vaginal hygiene at this time, bacteria in the reproductive tract can easily enter the uterine cavity and cause infection. To reduce bleeding after abortion, the following points should be taken:

1. Keep warm, avoid drinking cold drinks, and prevent catching a cold.

2. To avoid pregnancy again, contraceptive measures should be taken as soon as sexual life is resumed after an abortion.

3. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, wash it with warm water 1-2 times a day, change sanitary napkins frequently, do not take a sitz bath before vaginal bleeding has stopped, and prohibit sexual intercourse within one month.

4. Pay attention to rest after the operation. It is better to rest in bed for the first three days. Generally, physical labor and physical exercise should be avoided within half a month.

5. Eat more nutritious foods, such as chicken, eggs, milk, bean products, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits. Avoid spicy foods such as chili peppers, alcohol, etc. The best time for nourishing is half a month. For those who are weak, have poor physical condition, or have lost a lot of blood, the nourishing time can be appropriately extended as appropriate.

3. Warm reminder

After a woman has undergone a painless abortion, if she has excessive vaginal bleeding or it lasts too long, it may mean incomplete suction, missed suction, uterine perforation, cervical laceration, postoperative rot, intraoperative and postoperative bleeding, cervical and uterine adhesions, menstrual disorders, etc. She should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination 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.
