Dark brown vaginal discharge after medical abortion

Medical abortion has the lowest success rate of all abortion procedures, and only women who choose to have an abortion before 49 days of pregnancy can communicate, because if the fetus is too large, the success rate of medical abortion will be greatly reduced, and uterine-related inflammation may also occur. Moreover, medical abortion is very harmful to women's bodies. Many women who have medical abortions have found that they have many sequelae after the abortion. So is dark brown leucorrhea a sequelae of medical abortion?

Is it normal for the vaginal discharge to be brown after the abortion?

Normal. Let’s check it out later.

Medical abortion can only be performed if it is an intrauterine pregnancy. If it is an ectopic pregnancy, medical abortion may cause heavy bleeding. When is the best time for medical abortion? The best time for medical abortion is generally within 7 weeks (49 days) of pregnancy (calculated from the start of menstruation). The drug is most sensitive between the 35th and 40th days, while abortion can usually be performed within 12 weeks of knowing the pregnancy.

Medical abortion generally requires taking two kinds of medicine. First, take the medicine to inhibit the development of the embryo. After 2-3 days, take the medicine to contract the uterus to expel the embryo. Most people will experience abdominal pain caused by uterine contractions two hours after taking the latter medicine. Generally, you can go home after being observed in the hospital for six hours after taking the medicine. Bleeding will continue for 1-2 weeks afterwards. Afterwards, you can go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound check to see if it has been completely eliminated. Experts remind that even if you choose medical abortion, you must go to the hospital to do it and do not buy the drugs on your own.

When is the best time for medical abortion? Medical abortion should be performed within 49 days of pregnancy. If the pregnancy lasts more than 49 days, the gestational sac in the uterus will gradually grow. The longer the pregnancy lasts, the larger the gestational sac will be. At this time, the medicine cannot completely expel the gestational sac, which can easily cause heavy bleeding. Therefore, once it exceeds 49 days, medical abortion is not recommended.

Medical abortion needs to be treated with caution. If not handled properly, it may easily lead to heavy bleeding and endanger life. Some people repeatedly undergo medical abortions without the necessary examinations and follow-up measures, which leads to chronic inflammation and adhesions in the pelvic cavity after multiple abortions, and even causes heavy bleeding, which is a serious life-threatening consequence. Medical abortion must be performed in a medical institution with the necessary conditions, and the person should have a detailed understanding of the entire medical abortion process to ensure a safe abortion.

Side effects of medical abortion

Generally speaking, the most worrying thing about medical abortion is that it cannot guarantee the success of the abortion. If it exceeds 49 days, medical abortion is not recommended because of the fear that it will lead to heavy bleeding, residual infection and many other abortion sequelae. If the medical abortion is incomplete, further uterine curettage surgery will be required, which is equivalent to secondary damage to the body.

Medical abortion works differently on different people. 70%-80% of people can have a clean abortion, but about 20% have an incomplete abortion and need a curettage. In addition, medical abortion can also cause irregular menstruation in the later period; medical abortion causes prolonged bleeding, increases the chance of infection, and may even cause endometriosis, a terminal disease for fertility.

The following situations are not suitable for medical abortion:

Pregnant women with diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, angina pectoris, arrhythmia, heart failure, hypertension, glaucoma, liver and kidney dysfunction, ectopic pregnancy, ulcerative colitis, adrenal insufficiency, long-term use of glucocorticoids, and insulin-dependent diabetes are strictly prohibited from using medical abortion.
