It's the eighth day of medical abortion and there is still brown

Medical abortion is a very simple method of abortion, with the advantages of low cost and good concealment. However, it is easy to have problems when you perform medical abortion by yourself, after all, you are not a professional. A typical problem is the presence of brown discharge. It's the eighth day since the medical abortion and there is still brown discharge. I don't know what's going on. Further observation is needed to understand the symptoms of clean and unclean medical abortion, and to take effective measures to deal with it in a timely manner.

Vaginal bleeding after abortion usually lasts for 7-10 days and no longer than 15 days. If the bleeding lasts too long, the amount of bleeding is greater than the normal menstrual volume, or is accompanied by obvious abdominal pain, it indicates infection or incomplete abortion.

Symptoms of clean abortion

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.

It is worth noting that you should go to the hospital for a check-up 1 to 2 weeks after medical abortion to see how the blood stasis and uterine cavity residues are discharged. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than 2 weeks, it may be caused by the incomplete discharge of the gestational sac and decidual tissue. At this time, you need to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. If it is confirmed that medical abortion is incomplete, you need to undergo a uterine curettage, otherwise it will be life-threatening.

Symptoms of unclean abortion

Generally speaking, an incomplete medical abortion will have the following symptoms: If the gestational sac is not expelled from the body after taking the medicine, and the B-ultrasound results show that there are residual gestational sacs left in the uterine cavity, it means that the medical abortion is incomplete. At this time, symptoms such as nausea, lower abdominal pain, and continuous vaginal bleeding may appear. Among them, persistent vaginal bleeding is a typical manifestation of incomplete medical abortion. You should go to the hospital for a uterine curettage in time, otherwise it may be life-threatening.

In addition, if vaginal bleeding lasts for more than 2 weeks after medical abortion, and ultrasound examination shows that there is no fetal sac remaining in the uterus, then it may be caused by uterine infection. Because blood is one of the best substances for cultivating bacteria, and there will be irregular vaginal bleeding for about 15 days after medical abortion. If not properly cared for, uterine infection will occur, causing prolonged bleeding.
