It’s been five days since the abortion and there’s still bleeding?

Unexpected pregnancy is a very common phenomenon. Some women choose to have an abortion through medical abortion after an unexpected pregnancy. Generally, bleeding five days after medical abortion is likely to be the residue of the medicine. If the amount of blood is not particularly large, it is a normal phenomenon. After medical abortion, you must closely observe the bleeding condition. If you find that the amount of bleeding increases, you must seek medical attention in time. If the B-ultrasound examination shows that the embryo is residual, a uterine curettage is required.

Which is less harmful, medical abortion or surgical abortion?

Abortion is very harmful to the human body and disrupts the endocrine balance. In fact, the discussion of which type of abortion causes less harm is also relative.

Comparing the two abortion methods, medical abortion does not require surgery, while surgical abortion does require surgery. However, one thing needs to be noted. Medical abortion has very strict requirements on the time of pregnancy. The shorter the time, the more effective it will be. It is usually performed within 49 days of amenorrhea. If medical abortion is started beyond this time, the chance of failure will be very high. At this time, uterine curettage surgery will have to be performed, which will further harm the body.

If the pregnancy is within 35-55 days, abortion is recommended. At this time, the uterus is not too large, and the operation generally does not require cervical dilation, so the impact on the body is relatively small.

Does medication hurt?

The so-called medical abortion is to use the stimulation of drugs to cause the baby to abort. This is one of the abortion methods provided by hospitals for women who have an unexpected pregnancy but do not plan to have children. Many women who are afraid of pain usually want to know whether medical abortion is really painless before having it. Today we will talk about whether medical abortion is painful or not.

If you go to the hospital and pass the pregnancy test, but don’t want to give birth to the child, and finally choose to have a medical abortion. Your doctor will usually prescribe you three days of medication, a newer endocrine drug called mifepristone.

After pregnancy, a woman's body produces the hormone progesterone, which is an element in maintaining pregnancy. When a woman takes mifepristone, the drug reduces the activity of progesterone, which can cause miscarriage.

Generally speaking, women will have decidual tissue excretion after medical abortion, which is less than the usual menstrual volume and is dark red. There will be irregular vaginal bleeding for about 15 days after medical abortion, and the specific bleeding time varies from person to person. The general signs of a clean medical abortion are: the amount of bleeding becomes less day by day; the gestational sac in the uterus can be discharged about 2 to 3 days after the abortion, and the amount of vaginal bleeding is relatively large at this time, and may be accompanied by dizziness, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, abdominal pain and other reactions; and the decidual tissue in the uterus often takes about 2 weeks to be completely discharged from the body. Once the vaginal bleeding stops, it means that the medical abortion was successful.
