There is only a little blood after the abortion

For some women who want to terminate their pregnancy, abortion is an option. Today, there are many different methods of abortion that can help women end their pregnancy. But everyone should pay attention that when undergoing an abortion, it is best to go to a regular hospital to avoid causing irreparable harm. So, after an abortion, there is only a little blood. Is this normal?

Many women, especially unmarried women, mistakenly believe that medical abortion is not a surgery and will not harm the body. In fact, medical abortion, like vacuum abortion, is an artificial intervention in the physiological process of pregnancy, which will harm women's health to a certain extent.

(1) Infection. After a woman takes anti-pregnancy drugs, the embryonic sac tissue in the uterine cavity can be discharged on the same day. Sometimes the pregnancy tissue is not completely discharged, the uterus is poorly restored, and vaginal bleeding lasts for a long time, which can last for 2 to 3 weeks or even 1 to 2 months. Long-term chronic blood loss can cause anemia and reduce the body's resistance. At this time, bacteria often travel back through the vagina and cause inflammation of the endometrium.

(2) Incomplete abortion. Some women suffer incomplete miscarriage after taking the medicine, which affects uterine contraction and the repair of endometrial wounds, and causes a significant increase in vaginal bleeding, which is 2 to 3 times more than the normal menstrual volume. In severe cases, heavy bleeding may occur, leading to anemia and shock, requiring blood transfusions and emergency surgery for curettage and hemostasis.

(3) Impact on subsequent pregnancy. If unmarried women have multiple births or repeated miscarriages, the endometrium may be repeatedly damaged. During pregnancy, placenta previa is prone to occur, which can cause heavy bleeding before and during delivery. Some women also experience habitual miscarriage or even secondary infertility due to multiple artificial abortions.

(4) Menstrual disorders. Drugs can inhibit the function of the ovaries, affect the growth and development of follicles and even ovulation. Some women may experience menstrual disorders after medical abortion, which are manifested by shortened or prolonged menstrual cycles and increased menstrual flow.

Therefore, although medical abortion is relatively safe and effective, there are still a few cases where adverse reactions and serious complications may occur. Moreover, the Ministry of Health has set qualifications for departments that provide medical abortion. Pharmacies are not allowed to sell medical abortion drugs privately, otherwise they will be treated as violating the law. Therefore, it is recommended that women with unexpected pregnancies do not attempt to have an abortion by medication on their own. They must go to a regular hospital for treatment and cherish their health and their lives.
