How many days will you bleed after a miscarriage?

The first three months and the last three months of pregnancy are relatively critical periods. During this stage, the fetus is easily affected by external factors and may experience miscarriage. Therefore, pregnant women need to pay special attention to their physical condition, have regular B-ultrasounds, and provide adequate nutrition for their children. If you unfortunately have a miscarriage, you should also pay attention to your physical conditioning after the miscarriage. So how many days will you bleed after a natural miscarriage?

In the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus has not yet implanted safely and is easily affected by factors of the pregnant woman or fetus, as well as other external factors, leading to spontaneous abortion. So what is spontaneous abortion, what are the symptoms of spontaneous abortion, and how many days of bleeding usually occurs during spontaneous abortion? In order to give everyone more understanding, let's learn about it together below.

Termination of pregnancy before 28 weeks of gestation and when the fetal weight is less than 1000g is called abortion. Among them, spontaneous abortion refers to abortion caused by non-human purposes. It is a miscarriage caused by natural factors (embryo factors, maternal factors, paternal factors and environmental factors). 31% of spontaneous abortions occur after embryo implantation, of which more than 80% are early abortions (termination before the 12th week of pregnancy).

The main symptoms of spontaneous abortion are: vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain after menopause. The process of spontaneous abortion is as follows: detachment of chorionic villi and decidua, opening of blood sinuses, vaginal bleeding, vitreous embryo and blood stimulating uterine contraction, expulsion of embryo, and lower abdominal pain.

There will be a period of bleeding after a miscarriage. The duration of this bleeding varies depending on the individual's physical condition, but it is generally normal and will last approximately 7 to 15 days, and no more than 15 days. Pregnant women should save any tissue that comes out and send it to their doctor for examination to rule out an incomplete miscarriage. If the miscarriage lasts about half a month or the bleeding continues, you should go to the hospital in time for a color ultrasound to check the condition of the endometrium. Incomplete abortion requires surgery to clean the uterine cavity and remove the remaining embryonic tissue to stop the bleeding. After all, if bleeding lasts too long, it can easily cause inflammation and infection, and may lead to uterine adhesions.

When a pregnant woman shows symptoms of spontaneous abortion, the doctor will take a series of measures to preserve the fetus after examination. At the same time, she should pay attention to bed rest, reduce activity, and strengthen nutrition. However, if preserving the fetus is ineffective, the pregnancy must be terminated immediately, and the embryo and placental tissue must be expelled as soon as possible. If necessary, a curettage should be performed to remove the intrauterine tissue, which will help prevent infection.
