There is still a little bleeding three weeks after the abortion.

After an unexpected pregnancy, most women choose to have an abortion. Medical abortion is a type of abortion that does not require surgery. So some people choose medical abortion. However, medical abortion has a huge impact on women's bodies, especially the uterus, because if the abortion is not complete, gynecological diseases are likely to occur. It will also affect future pregnancies. Women need to be cautious when choosing the method of abortion. But is it normal to still have a little bleeding three weeks after medical abortion?

How long does bleeding last after medication abortion?

After medical abortion, the average number of days of bleeding after the fetal sac is expelled is 16 days.

If someone is still bleeding for more than 18 days, it may be that the decidua is not completely detached, affecting uterine contraction and hemostasis; or the fetal sac is not completely expelled, leading to incomplete abortion; a small number of patients are infected after medical abortion surgery, resulting in endometrial inflammation.

If there are residual objects that are not cleared from the uterus, vaginal bleeding will be prolonged, thereby increasing the chance of infection. If ascending infection is caused, resulting in blockage of the fallopian tubes, pregnancy will be affected.

Because the bleeding time after medical abortion is long and the cervix relaxes, it provides opportunities for bacterial growth and retrograde infection. Therefore, if vaginal bleeding lasts for more than 7 days, antibiotics should be taken routinely for 3-5 days to prevent infection.

In order to recover as quickly as possible after medical abortion, you must pay attention to the following issues: Do not have sexual intercourse within one month after medical abortion to avoid infection; Do not take a bath after medical abortion to avoid reproductive tract infection. When washing your hair or taking a bath, make sure to use hot water, get enough rest, eat light food, avoid spicy food, and pay attention to strengthening nutrition. If there is excessive bleeding, you can eat some blood-enriching food appropriately.

What are the symptoms of clean abortion?

The symptoms of complete bleeding after medical abortion are generally manifested as organized bleeding, the bleeding time is about 1-3 weeks, and the bleeding becomes less day by day. After about 2 to 3 days, the embryonic sac in the uterine cavity will be discharged. At this time, there will be more vaginal bleeding, and there may be reactions such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and abdominal pain. The decidual tissue in the uterus often takes about 2 weeks to be slowly discharged, and then the bleeding stops. This is a symptom of a complete medical abortion.

The shortest duration of vaginal bleeding after medical abortion is 4 days, and the longest is 45 to 60 days, with an average of about 16 days. If the bleeding duration is too long and does not stop, it is very likely that the medical abortion was not complete. If the amount of bleeding is greater than the normal menstrual volume or is accompanied by obvious abdominal pain, infection or incomplete abortion may be considered.

Opinion and suggestion: Medical abortion may not be a complete abortion, which means that the embryo may not be expelled at once, and residue may remain, so a second uterine curettage is required.

Bleeding after abortion usually lasts for 1 to 3 weeks. The general sign of a clean abortion is that the bleeding becomes less day by day. If the bleeding decreases and then increases, or does not decrease at all or gradually increases, it is abnormal.
