Bleeding after abortion

Bleeding after an abortion is a normal phenomenon, but if the bleeding continues, there is a certain problem. This shows that the patient may have adverse conditions such as post-abortion infection, incomplete abortion, blood accumulation in the uterine cavity, etc. If these problems occur, you must go to the hospital for review and treatment in time. In addition, after the abortion, the patient himself should also pay attention to some matters to avoid damaging his own health!

1. Infection after abortion:

Common symptoms include endometritis, myometritis, adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. Patients experience abdominal pain, abdominal tenderness and rebound pain, and long-term small amounts of vaginal bleeding or irregular bleeding, which is dark red and may be accompanied by an odor. Antibacterial drugs can be given according to the infection situation, supplemented by symptomatic treatment, physical therapy, etc.

2. Incomplete abortion:

After the abortion, vaginal bleeding does not stop, more or less for more than two weeks, and there are varying degrees of lower abdominal pain and back pain. B-ultrasound showed that the uterus was slightly enlarged and there was residual tissue in the uterus. Appropriate treatment should be given according to the different conditions of the patients, such as curettage to remove the intrauterine embryo or its appendages, and anti-infection.

3. Hemorrhage in the uterine cavity:

After artificial abortion, blood and blood clots accumulate in the uterine cavity, which is called intrauterine hematocele, which is mainly caused by poor uterine contraction after suction curettage. After the second uterine curettage, uterotonics and antibiotics should be given continuously for three days or more.

4. Precautions after abortion

In order to reduce bleeding after abortion, women should do the following after abortion:

(1) You should rest well after the operation. It is best to stay in bed for the first three days. Generally, physical labor and physical exercise should be avoided within half a month.

(2) Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, wash it with warm water 1 to 2 times a day, change menstrual pads frequently, do not take a sitz bath before vaginal bleeding has stopped, and refrain from sexual intercourse within one month.

(3) Keep warm and avoid drinking cold drinks to prevent catching a cold.

(4) Eat more nutritious foods, such as chicken, eggs, milk, bean products, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits. Avoid spicy foods such as chili peppers, alcohol, etc. The best time for nourishing is half a month. For those who are weak, have poor physical condition, or have lost a lot of blood, the nourishing time can be appropriately extended as appropriate.

(5) To avoid pregnancy again, contraceptive measures should be taken as soon as sexual life is resumed after an abortion.
