It is normal to bleed for a few days after curettage.

Curettage is a relatively safe operation. As long as it is cleaned thoroughly, it will not leave a big impact on your body. However, some people will experience bleeding symptoms after curettage, and you should not take a bath during the bleeding period, as this will lead to bacterial invasion. In addition, you must avoid sexual intercourse during the recovery period, and you should not have sexual intercourse for about a week.

Generally speaking, the appropriate time for abortion and curettage is when the pregnancy is no more than 3 months. Because there is not much pregnancy tissue at this time and the embryo is very small, it is easier to expel from the body with less damage. Relatively speaking, the risk of medical abortion will be lower if it is performed at the optimal time for curettage. However, please note that you need to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time after the curettage, and you can go home only if there are no abnormalities.

1. You need to take a shower and change into clean underwear the night before the abortion;

2. Wear loose pants as much as possible and bring your own sanitary napkins and toilet paper.

3. Avoid sexual intercourse within one week before abortion;

4. If you are having a painless abortion, you should fast and not drink water for about 6 hours before the operation.

5. Taking misoprostol orally before surgery can soften the cervix, enhance tension and intrauterine effects, reduce cervical damage, and prevent cervical adhesions.

6. Before the abortion, you need to undergo corresponding gynecological examinations and routine examinations such as urine pregnancy test, B-ultrasound, blood, and urine. Surgery should be postponed in the following cases:

(1) If the body temperature exceeds 37.5 degrees Celsius twice before surgery, surgery should be postponed.

(2) Patients with poor physical condition, such as those with acute inflammation or acidosis caused by severe vomiting during pregnancy that has not been corrected, are not suitable for surgery and need to wait for treatment to improve before surgery.

(3) Painless abortion requires understanding of the heart condition to ensure the safety of anesthesia. Patients with poor heart function should choose surgery according to doctor's advice.

① After the abortion, you need to rest in the hospital for half an hour to one hour. You can leave the hospital only if you do not feel any special discomfort.

②Due to the pain stimulation during the operation, you may sweat a lot. Therefore, after the operation, you should pay attention to keeping warm, avoid wind and cold, prevent external infection, and avoid excessive use of air conditioning in midsummer.

③ Due to the trauma left on the endometrium after curettage, there will be vaginal bleeding within two weeks after the operation. Generally, the amount of blood is less than or similar to the menstrual amount, which is normal. If the bleeding has not stopped for more than two weeks or the amount of blood exceeds the menstrual volume, please go to the hospital immediately.

④ Abdominal pain occurs due to uterine contraction after the operation, which usually subsides in about half an hour to an hour. If you experience severe abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding with large blood clots, and high fever after a few hours or days, please go to the hospital immediately.

⑤ Keep the perineum clean and dry, change sanitary napkins frequently, and choose sanitary napkins and paper marked with the words "Xiao" or "Zhun". Wash the vulva with clean water every night and dry it with a clean and dry towel. Never use your hands to clean your vagina, and do not use any medicated lotions to rinse your vagina.
