Long strips of mucus after medical abortion

There are many methods of abortion, and medical abortion is one of them. Medical abortion can cause great harm to a woman's body, and each woman will have different reactions depending on her own conditions. Some women experience heavy bleeding, while others experience frequent discharge. Medical abortion is also often prone to infection, so women must pay attention to changes in their bodies when using medical abortion. So what is the reason for the long strips of mucus after medical abortion?

Symptoms of incomplete abortion include:

【1】Infection

If the B-ultrasound examination finds no residue in the uterus, then intrauterine infection should be considered, because the blood from medical abortion is a good breeding ground for bacteria. In serious cases, if the medical abortion is not clean, there will be tenderness in the uterus during gynecological examination, and there will be symptoms such as fever.

【2】Nausea and greasy taste

Another typical symptom of incomplete medical abortion is nausea, aversion to greasy food and lower abdominal pain.

【3】Bleeding time after medical abortion

It usually manifests as continuous vaginal bleeding. The bleeding period after medical abortion is 1-3 weeks, and the amount of bleeding gradually decreases. If the bleeding decreases and then increases again, or does not decrease at all, or gradually increases, these are symptoms of incomplete medical abortion.

What to do if medical abortion fails

If it is diagnosed that the medical abortion was not complete, you can try to use medical uterine contraction again to expel the remaining tissue. But if the discharge still cannot be discharged, a uterine curettage operation must be performed. Otherwise, the pregnancy tissue left in the uterus will cause serious consequences such as infection, bleeding, infertility, etc., seriously threatening reproductive health and even life-threatening. If it is still not clean within 15 days, a uterine cleaning is required. At this time, accept the advice of the gynecologist and communicate in detail with the attending physician.

If medical abortion fails, severe symptoms such as heavy bleeding and abdominal pain may occur. The patient should actively undergo gynecological examination and uterine curettage surgery. Women who have unsuccessful medical abortions usually show symptoms of bleeding that decreases and then increases, or does not decrease at all, or gradually increases. At this time, they should go to the hospital for uterine curettage in time. Curettage is different from abortion. It is used to remove the tissue remaining in the uterine cavity after incomplete abortion, but it is extremely harmful to the human body.
