No less bleeding after 7 days of medical abortion

Medical abortion is a very common method of abortion. After medical abortion, the patient will experience various symptoms, such as vaginal bleeding, which is a very common phenomenon. In general, bleeding for half a month after medical abortion is a relatively normal phenomenon and patients do not need to worry too much. However, if bleeding continues beyond this time, or if there are other discomfort symptoms, you must seek medical attention immediately.

1. How many days of bleeding is normal after medical abortion

Generally speaking, 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 expulsion of the gestational sac, leading to incomplete abortion. You should go to a regular hospital for examination immediately. If it is confirmed to be an incomplete abortion, a uterine curettage will be required.

In addition, women whose uterus is infected or whose blood coagulation function is poor after medical abortion may also experience prolonged bleeding.

2. Best time for medical abortion

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.

3. Precautions after medical abortion

1. Pay attention to hygiene

After medical abortion, women should ensure their personal hygiene, avoid bathing in a tub, excessive vaginal douching, and refrain from premature sexual intercourse. Also, please remember to change and wash your underwear frequently to keep your vulva clean and dry to avoid infection.

2. Low effectiveness

The effect of medical abortion is not particularly good, and incomplete abortion is very likely to occur. Therefore, once a woman experiences long-term and heavy bleeding after medical abortion, she must pay special attention and go to a regular hospital for examination in time to check whether it is caused by incomplete abortion so that effective treatment can be carried out.

3. Get enough rest

After a medical abortion, you must make sure to get enough rest, because only with adequate rest can you recover faster. Do not work when your body has not recovered well. Staying up late and overwork can cause great harm to your body. Female friends need attention.

4. Nutritional intake

When having a medical abortion, you should pay attention to your nutritional intake. You can eat more protein-rich foods, such as beans, lean meat, eggs, and other high-protein foods, and avoid eating spicy foods and seafood.
