A small amount of brown blood after miscarriage

Abortion can generally be divided into two types: artificial abortion and spontaneous abortion, and the consequences are the most regrettable. Miscarriage can have a great impact on our body. Many women will experience a small amount of brown blood ten days after miscarriage. This situation is most likely caused by incomplete miscarriage. We can first understand the situation of incomplete miscarriage and preliminarily judge whether our situation is an incomplete miscarriage. Let’s take a look below.

symptom

1. Part of the pregnancy product has been expelled, but some of it remains in the uterine cavity or is still attached to the uterine wall. The strong contraction of the uterus causes the patient to feel severe abdominal pain and back pain, heavy bleeding, and an open cervix.

The cervix has dilated and blood is constantly flowing out of the cervix. Sometimes placenta or fetal tissue can be seen blocking the dilated cervix. Ultrasound examination showed no perfect embryo shape or heartbeat in the uterus, only blood clots and lumps with irregular boundaries, an open cervix, and sometimes tissue inside the cervix. If the symptoms of incomplete abortion occur and the bleeding continues for a long time, causing anemia, the patient will have pale complexion, dizziness, etc., and a blood test may show a decrease in red blood cells and hemoglobin. If excessive bleeding causes shock, the patient will experience rapid heartbeat, cold sweats, oliguria, syncope, and even coma.

Post-abortion care

1. Pay attention to proper rest after abortion. It is usually recommended to rest in bed for 1 week. If conditions do not permit, you should rest in bed for at least 2-3 days. You can get out of bed and move around later, gradually increasing the time you spend on activities. Avoid heavy physical labor within half a month after an abortion.[2]

2. Nutritional supplementation is necessary after abortion. Especially protein, iron, and vitamin B12, which are necessary raw materials for blood production, while vitamin C, water, minerals and fiber are essential nutrients for the human body. After an abortion, you should eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products, and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up your body's recovery.

3. Observe the bleeding after abortion. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after abortion or if symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, or abnormal vaginal discharge occur, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. In addition, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination within one month after the abortion.

4. Adhere to contraception after abortion to avoid pregnancy again. After abortion, the functions of the ovaries and uterus gradually recover, and the ovaries ovulate on schedule. If you don't insist on taking contraceptive measures, you will get pregnant again soon, which will have a greater impact on your body.

5. Psychological adjustment is very important. After an abortion, many women will become anxious or self-pitying, feeling that they have not received enough care and worrying about the impact on their future health. In fact, proper care and understanding as well as dietary adjustments can help untie the knot and restore happiness and self-confidence.
