Is it normal to have less bleeding after medical abortion?

Abortion can be divided into two types: medical abortion and artificial abortion. Artificial abortion is a surgical procedure to expel the embryo from the body, while medical abortion uses drugs to stop the development of the embryo. The success rate of medical abortion is lower than that of artificial abortion. Both will have bleeding symptoms. The amount and duration of bleeding depend on individual circumstances. This article introduces the detailed situation, let’s take a look.

1. Is it normal to have less bleeding after medical abortion?

The amount of bleeding after medical abortion is related to the individual's physical condition. Timely self-regulation can restore it to normal. First of all, you need to pay attention to personal conditioning and maintenance, take oral medications such as Xinshenghua Granules and Motherwort Granules Sugar-free, and have regular check-ups.

2. How long does bleeding last after medical abortion?

Generally speaking, after medical abortion, decidual tissue will be discharged, which is less than the usual menstrual volume and is dark red. There will be irregular vaginal bleeding for about 15 days after medical abortion, and the specific bleeding time varies from person to person. However, if the bleeding has not stopped for more than 2 weeks after medical abortion, and the amount of bleeding has not decreased, this may be caused by incomplete medical abortion. You should go to a regular hospital for examination immediately. If it is indeed incomplete medical abortion, a uterine curettage surgery is required.

In addition, in addition to incomplete medical abortion causing prolonged bleeding, the following two reasons can also cause prolonged bleeding after medical abortion:

Poor blood coagulation function: Some women are prone to bruises or bulges after slight bumps or pinches. This is most likely caused by poor blood coagulation function. Women with poor blood coagulation function will experience heavy bleeding or prolonged bleeding during medical or surgical abortion.

Uterine infection after medical abortion: If the B-ultrasound shows that there is no residue in the uterus, then long-term bleeding after medical abortion may be caused by uterine infection. Because the blood that flows out after medical abortion is a good culture medium for bacteria, and the bleeding time after medical abortion is long, if not properly cared for, uterine infection is likely to occur, causing prolonged bleeding.
