Is there a lot of bleeding after the medical abortion?

Sexual life is a way for men and women to communicate their emotions, and sexual needs are also normal physical needs of adult men and women. However, when engaging in sexual intercourse, special attention should be paid to contraceptive measures to avoid the possibility of pregnancy. If pregnancy occurs accidentally and both parties have no desire to have the child, it is necessary to choose an appropriate abortion method. Many women have questions: Will there be a lot of bleeding after medical abortion?

If the bleeding lasts for a long time and is not completely gone, it means there is an abnormality and you should get checked out right away.

So, how many days of bleeding after medical abortion is normal? The main reasons for long bleeding time and excessive bleeding after medical abortion are as follows:

Intrauterine infection - Prolonged vaginal bleeding can cause intrauterine infection, which in turn aggravates the symptoms of vaginal bleeding and makes it difficult for the uterus to recover. Patients with this condition should be treated with antibiotics to prevent infection.

Weak uterine contractions - For some women in early pregnancy, the decidua and villi are well developed, and the uterine contractions caused by abortion drugs are not strong enough to expel all the products of pregnancy (chorion and decidua) in the uterine cavity, resulting in increased vaginal bleeding.

This can enhance the contraction of the uterus and promote the discharge of decidual tissue, thereby reducing the amount of vaginal bleeding and shortening the duration of vaginal bleeding. If the amount of bleeding does not decrease after the use of oxytocin, curettage can be performed to stop the bleeding.

Why does bleeding occur after medical abortion?

1. Poor blood coagulation function: Some people are prone to bruises or bulges after slight bumps or clamps. This may be because the blood coagulation function of this person is not very good. During medical abortion or surgical abortion, there may be heavy bleeding or prolonged bleeding.

2. Infection after medical abortion: If the B-ultrasound determines that there is no residue in the uterus, then intrauterine infection should be considered, because the blood from abortion is a good culture medium for bacteria. If the condition is serious, there will be tenderness in the uterus during gynecological examination, and there will be fever, etc.

3. Incomplete abortion: The main cause of bleeding after medical abortion, which can generally be determined through gynecological examination and B-ultrasound

So what should women do if they continue to bleed after medical abortion?

Two weeks after the gestational sac is expelled, you should go to the hospital where you had the medical abortion for a follow-up visit. If the bleeding has not stopped at this time, urine pregnancy and delivery tests and B-ultrasound examinations are needed. Those diagnosed with incomplete abortion should undergo a curettage. Vaginal bleeding will stop within 10 days after the operation.

How long does it usually take for menstruation to come after medical abortion?

Experts point out that due to the different physical fitness of each woman, the degree of recovery is also different. Usually, vaginal bleeding after medical abortion will last for about 10-20 days, and menstruation will come more than a month after the operation. However, some women will experience irregular menstruation. If the vaginal bleeding lasts for a long time, it is necessary to consider whether the medical abortion is incomplete.

Medical abortion does not require artificial equipment, so the reproductive organs will not be damaged. Although medical abortion has many advantages, it also has certain limitations and side effects, so you cannot go to the pharmacy to buy medicine privately. Therefore, women must go to a regular hospital for medical abortion and under the guidance of an authoritative doctor.

At the same time, the success rate of medical abortion is usually not 100%. Problems may occur during the process, the most common of which are incomplete abortion and retained fetal membrane tissue that can cause hemorrhage. Therefore, you must go to a professional hospital for a uterine curettage in time, otherwise it will pose a threat to women's lives.
