Why does bleeding continue after abortion?

After the placenta is separated during artificial abortion, there may be a small amount of bleeding on the wound left on the uterine wall. In this case, as the uterus contracts and the wound heals, vaginal bleeding will gradually stop within 3-5 days and will not exceed 10-15 days at most. If the amount of vaginal bleeding exceeds the amount of menstrual blood and lasts too long, you need to seek medical treatment promptly. You may feel slight lower abdominal discomfort, pain or a small amount of vaginal bleeding on the day after the abortion. The bleeding usually lasts for 3-5 days. As the uterus contracts and the wound heals, the vaginal bleeding gradually stops and does not exceed 10 days.

After an abortion, since the uterus has not fully recovered, sexual intercourse at this time can easily lead to uterine infection. If you do not pay attention to strengthening self-care after the operation, it may lead to prolonged vaginal bleeding, back pain, abdominal pain, menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, infertility, etc.

Information on bleeding after painless abortion: Generally, about a week after the abortion, there will be red or light red discharge in the vagina, the amount gradually decreases, and there is no irritating odor. Bleeding after painless abortion may also be caused by the harm of the abortion surgery to the human body.

What should I do if bleeding continues after an abortion?

1. Uterine cavity hematocele: After artificial abortion, blood and blood clots accumulate in the uterine cavity, which is called uterine cavity hematocele, which is mainly caused by poor uterine contraction after suction curettage. After the second uterine curettage, uterotonics and antibiotics should be given continuously for three days or more.

2. Infection after abortion: Common infections include endometritis, myometritis, adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. Patients experience abdominal pain, abdominal tenderness and rebound pain, and long-term small amounts of vaginal bleeding or irregular bleeding, which is dark red and may be accompanied by an odor. Antibacterial drugs can be given according to the infection situation, supplemented by symptomatic treatment, physical therapy, etc.

3. Incomplete abortion: Vaginal bleeding does not stop after the abortion, more or less for more than two weeks, and there are varying degrees of lower abdominal pain and back pain. B-ultrasound showed that the uterus was slightly enlarged and there was residual tissue in the uterus. Appropriate treatment should be given according to the different conditions of the patients, such as curettage to remove the intrauterine embryo or its appendages, and anti-infection.

51 What are the symptoms of ovulation after uterine curettage?

Generally, the ovaries resume ovulating function about 22 days after abortion. But the specific situation varies from person to person, and even under normal circumstances, ovulation does not occur every month. It is recommended to use ovulation test strips to monitor, and generally test every day starting from the tenth day of menstruation. If one dark line and one light line appear on the test paper, it means that ovulation is not far away; if two lines are the same depth or even the monitoring line is darker than the control line, it means ovulation is occurring.

Another method is to take your temperature. The temperature on the day of ovulation will be one degree higher than usual, but the disadvantage of taking your temperature is that it cannot monitor upcoming ovulation. It can only detect ovulation on that day, so it is impossible to take contraceptive measures in advance.

It is generally recommended to resume sexual intercourse 42 days after abortion, as sexual intercourse too early can easily cause gynecological diseases.

Although menstruation has not resumed, ovulation still exists, so the possibility of pregnancy again cannot be ruled out if contraceptive measures are not certain. According to reports, 78.05% of women resumed menstruation within 30 days after abortion, and 2.33% became pregnant again before their menstruation stopped because of failure to use contraception in time.
