Is it normal to still have bleeding after 16 days of medical abortion?

After taking medical abortion drugs, the amount of blood outflow will gradually decrease over time. Although the success rate of medical abortion is lower than that of surgical abortion, it eliminates the need for surgery, which is an important reason why many women choose medical abortion. During the medical abortion period, the woman's lower body will show signs of intermittent bleeding, which is caused by the expulsion of the embryo. Is it normal if there is still bleeding 16 days after the abortion?

Generally, the bleeding symptoms will disappear on their own within 16 days after medical abortion. Therefore, if the patient still has bleeding symptoms 16 days after abortion, it is abnormal. After this phenomenon occurs, it is necessary to go to the hospital for B-ultrasound examination in time. After re-examination of B-ultrasound, the specific condition of the disease can be understood. Generally, there are two reasons that easily cause this symptom, including: incomplete medical abortion and gynecological inflammation. The condition must be diagnosed as soon as possible and then actively treated symptomatically.

If the symptoms of repeated bleeding are caused by incomplete medical abortion, a curettage surgery should be adopted in time for treatment, especially for patients with larger residual materials. They should cooperate with the doctor for surgical treatment in time. If the residual materials are relatively small, there is no need for curettage surgery. Drugs can be used for conditioning to promote the excretion of residual materials, such as: Xinsheng Biochemical Granules and Motherwort Granules, etc. The correct dosage of the medicine should be used under the guidance of a professional doctor, and it is enough to insist on taking the medicine for one course of treatment.

If the symptoms of repeated bleeding are caused by gynecological inflammation, antibiotics should be used to treat the disease in time. Common antibiotics include: amoxicillin, metronidazole and cephalosporin, etc. In order to ensure the treatment effect, it is better to combine it with Chinese patent medicine, including: Gynecological Qianjin Tablets, Huahong Tablets, Jingangteng Capsules, etc., and physical therapy can be combined with treatment when necessary. Patients must actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and must not leave it alone.

As long as the correct treatment is used according to the specific condition, the symptom of bleeding 16 days after medical abortion can be improved. During the treatment, attention should be paid to private hygiene. It is better to wash the vulva frequently with warm water. In addition, underwear should be changed in time every night. Choosing cotton underwear with good breathability is more conducive to the body's recovery. Avoid resuming sexual life too early after abortion.
