How long after abortion does the urine test turn out to be negative?

Artificial abortion is the preferred method for many women to terminate pregnancy after an unexpected pregnancy. Women who have been pregnant know that during pregnancy, the hormone level in women is very high. Blood tests for pregnancy are usually done by testing the hormone level in the body. If the urine test is positive, it means it is a symptom of pregnancy, but if it is negative, it means you are not pregnant. How long after an abortion does the urine test take to be negative?

How long after abortion does it take for a urine test to be negative?

Normally, the urine pregnancy test will show negative about 2-3 weeks after an artificial abortion. It takes some time for blood HCG to return to normal after artificial abortion. Compared with full-term delivery, spontaneous abortion, ectopic pregnancy, etc., the time for blood HCG to return to normal after artificial abortion is the longest. Blood HCG returns to normal in about 30 days. When the blood HCG is less than 25, the urine pregnancy test will show negative. Therefore, urine tests will generally show negative about 2-3 weeks after miscarriage.

Because abortion uses artificial means to terminate pregnancy, and the progesterone in a woman's body needs some time to adjust, the symptoms of pregnancy will slowly disappear, so there is no need to worry. Generally, the HCG level will be positive about 10 days after the abortion, and will slowly disappear and turn negative after half a month. It takes a process for the HCG level to drop after the abortion, generally about 7 days. If the positive level persists for a long time, there may be an incomplete miscarriage, such as residual placental tissue in the uterus, or hydatidiform mole, choriocarcinoma, etc. You must go to the hospital for B-ultrasound examination immediately. The blood HCG concentration can also help with the identification. Urine HCG usually turns negative 1-2 weeks after the abortion, and it takes about 1 month for blood HCG to reach the non-pregnancy state. If urine HCG remains positive, incomplete abortion or hydatidiform mole should be considered, and blood HCG and B-ultrasound should be further checked. It usually takes more than half a month for your hcg level to drop to negative after an abortion, so it is best not to get checked during this period. It may show a positive result during the check. Go home and have a good rest. Do not take a shower or have sex too early. Moreover, the specific circumstances vary from person to person. Patients should pay attention to rest, combine work and rest, maintain a happy mood, and have a reasonable diet and nutrition.

What are the precautions after artificial abortion?

Bleeding after abortion

Although artificial abortion is a relatively safe operation, the incidence of postoperative bleeding is the highest. Generally speaking, if postoperative bleeding exceeds the amount of menstruation or lasts for more than a week, it should be considered abnormal and you should go to the hospital for a doctor's diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible!

Infectious bleeding: more common, mainly due to patients having vaginitis or cervicitis. Lack of preoperative treatment or incomplete treatment, lax disinfection during surgery, or, in a few people, premature sexual intercourse after surgery, can cause bacteria to enter the uterine cavity through the cervix and cause acute endometritis, myometritis, acute pelvic inflammatory disease, etc.

The clinical manifestations are continuous bleeding, dark red or light red blood with a foul odor. Severe cases are accompanied by lower abdominal pain, anal distension, fever, chills, etc. If the treatment is not thorough, it often turns into chronic pelvic inflammatory disease or salpingitis, leading to secondary infertility or ectopic pregnancy.

Incomplete abortion type bleeding: The pregnant woman's uterus is in an abnormal position, such as excessive anteversion or anteflexion, or posterior flexion, or the embryonic tissue is not completely sucked out, resulting in some embryonic tissue remaining, affecting the normal contraction and recovery of the uterus, which can cause continuous bleeding. The bleeding is intermittent and increases, and is bright red or comes in clots of varying sizes, accompanied by discomfort such as lower abdominal distension and pain.

A small number of patients may suffer from severe bleeding, or even coma or shock, and need to be rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.
