Will there be bleeding after the gestational sac is discharged?

Many people lose the chance of normal conception due to unexpected pregnancy. For example, they take a lot of medicine before pregnancy and fail to take correct measures, which leads to unexpected pregnancy. After considering some necessary factors, they will choose to have an abortion. However, during the abortion process, the gestational sac must be taken out first. Otherwise, it will be difficult to conceive again if it remains in the uterus. It may also cause inflammation. The gestational sac will also bleed after it is taken out. How long will the bleeding from artificial abortion last?

1. What is artificial abortion?

Before 24 weeks of pregnancy, the use of artificial methods to remove a developed but immature embryo from the uterus to end the pregnancy is called artificial abortion.

Artificial abortion is suitable for those who are not suitable for continuing the pregnancy due to certain serious diseases (such as active pulmonary tuberculosis, serious heart disease, etc.) or pregnancy complications, as well as those who have failed contraception.

Artificial abortion can be divided into early artificial abortion and mid-term induced abortion according to the length of pregnancy. Artificial abortion before 12 weeks of pregnancy is called early artificial abortion; artificial abortion between 12 and 27 weeks of pregnancy is called mid-term induced labor.

2. The most suitable time for abortion

It is most appropriate to have an artificial abortion within 10 weeks of pregnancy. Because the earlier the abortion is performed, the simpler and safer it will be; otherwise, the operation will be more complicated and the recovery time will be longer.

Commonly used early abortion procedures include suction uterine extraction (negative pressure aspiration) and curettage. The former is suitable for pregnant women within 10 weeks, and the latter is suitable for pregnant women between 10 and 14 weeks. Within 10 weeks of pregnancy, the uterus is not too large; the fetus and fetal mass have not yet formed, so there is generally no need to dilate the cervix and the fetal mass tissue can be easily sucked out; the reaction during the operation is mild; there is little bleeding, the operation time is short, and you can go home after resting for 1 to 2 hours after the operation. Recovery is also fast, and the impact on the body is small.

During the 10th to 14th week of pregnancy, as the embryo gradually grows, the fetal cavity has been formed, and the uterus also grows, it is not appropriate to use simple suction uterine abortion at this time, but platinum curettage abortion. The operation is difficult, involves a lot of bleeding, and has a relatively slow recovery, which has a certain impact on the body.

If the pregnancy exceeds 14 weeks, the above two types of artificial abortion cannot be performed, and hospitalization for induced abortion is required, which increases the pain of the pregnant woman and the risk of the operation.

Therefore, pregnant women who need artificial abortion should try to undergo aspiration surgery within 10 weeks of pregnancy to reduce the pain of the abortion.
