How to know if the flow is clean after the abortion

Abortion is a common method of terminating pregnancy. It can be used for unexpected pregnancies or when you don't want a child. However, if you don't take care of yourself properly after the abortion, it will cause certain harm to your body. After the abortion, you must completely eliminate the lochia to avoid some problems. For pregnant women themselves, you can judge whether the lochia is completely discharged by some symptoms.

How to know if the flow is clean after the abortion

Generally speaking, there are two main ways to judge whether the flow is clean:

Self-diagnosis of symptoms

Under normal circumstances, women who have had a complete abortion will only experience slight pain in the lower abdomen, and the bleeding time after the operation will not exceed two weeks, and the amount of bleeding after the abortion will not exceed the normal menstrual volume. If patients experience bleeding for more than two weeks after the abortion, the amount of bleeding is greater than the normal menstrual volume, or there are abnormal abdominal pain symptoms, they should be highly vigilant, because this may be a sign that the abortion was not complete.

B-ultrasound diagnosis

Since B-ultrasound is currently a visual and intuitive method to determine whether a woman's abortion is clean, Beijing Abortion Hospital said: Female friends who have an unexpected pregnancy can go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound examination two weeks or one month after the abortion to determine whether the abortion was clean.

If the flow is not clean, there will generally be the following symptoms:

1. Bleeding continues after abortion for more than 2 weeks.

2. Abdominal pain lasts for more than one week.

3. If the abortion is not clean, vaginal bleeding will usually be heavy and abdominal pain will worsen within one month. If these symptoms occur, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

The above are two ways introduced by the editor to determine whether the abortion is complete. Friends in need can refer to them. The editor would like to say here that generally, if the abortion is not complete, there will be prolonged bleeding time and heavy bleeding. You can make a self-judgment based on these situations.
