There is still blood more than 20 days after the abortion

Nowadays, many women who have an unexpected pregnancy choose to have an abortion to terminate the pregnancy. However, after the abortion, female friends may also experience some adverse phenomena, such as vaginal bleeding. Generally speaking, this bleeding phenomenon will not last more than two weeks. If there is still bleeding after more than twenty days, then female friends need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time!

1. How long does bleeding last after a painless abortion?

During painless abortion surgery, after the woman's placenta is separated, the wound left on the uterine wall may cause a small amount of bleeding. Therefore, there may be bleeding for a few days after the painless abortion. How long does bleeding last after a painless abortion? The specific time of postoperative bleeding varies from person to person. Generally, bleeding will stop a few days after the operation and will not exceed two weeks at most. Some women who have undergone painless abortion surgery will even stop bleeding that night.

2. Why does bleeding occur after painless abortion?

After the placenta is separated from the woman during an artificial abortion, the wound left on the uterine wall may bleed a small amount. In this case, as the uterus contracts and the wound repairs, the vaginal bleeding will generally stop gradually in 3-5 days and will not exceed 10-15 days at most.

3. The most suitable time for abortion

It is most appropriate to have an artificial abortion within 10 weeks of pregnancy. Because the earlier the abortion is performed, the simpler and safer it will be; otherwise, the operation will be more complicated and the recovery time will be longer.

Commonly used early abortion procedures include suction uterine extraction (negative pressure aspiration) and curettage. The former is suitable for pregnant women within 10 weeks, and the latter is suitable for pregnant women between 10 and 14 weeks. Within 10 weeks of pregnancy, the uterus is not too large; the fetus and fetal mass have not yet formed, so there is generally no need to dilate the cervix and the fetal mass tissue can be easily sucked out; the reaction during the operation is mild; there is little bleeding, the operation time is short, and you can go home after resting for 1 to 2 hours after the operation. Recovery is also fast, and the impact on the body is small.

During the 10th to 14th week of pregnancy, as the embryo gradually grows, the fetal cavity has been formed, and the uterus also grows, it is not appropriate to use simple suction uterine abortion at this time, but platinum curettage abortion. The operation is difficult, involves a lot of bleeding, and has a relatively slow recovery, which has a certain impact on the body.

If the pregnancy exceeds 14 weeks, the above two types of artificial abortion cannot be performed, and hospitalization for induced abortion is required, which increases the pain of the pregnant woman and the risk of the operation.

Therefore, pregnant women who need artificial abortion should try to undergo aspiration surgery within 10 weeks of pregnancy to reduce the pain of the abortion.
