Patient's question:
Yesterday, which was the 2nd, I had a medication-induced abortion. The doctor checked and confirmed that the cystic tissue had been expelled. At that time, some blood flowed, approximately the amount of one to two menstrual cycles. The bleeding gradually decreased. Today is the third day, and there is still some blood, but it's not much. Regular sanitary napkins are sufficient. I haven't experienced any significant discomfort. The doctor prescribed Sangkun Yangxue Granules and Cephalexin. I'm taking these for help:I have a few questions:
1. If the medication-induced abortion goes smoothly, how many days does the bleeding usually last? What's the shortest duration? What's the longest?
2. If my body gradually recovers, when should my next menstrual period start? (I had the abortion yesterday.)
3. Are there any specific rest or dietary precautions I need to take after a medication-induced abortion?
4. How many days should I take the two medications prescribed by the doctor?
Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, most of the medication abortion will be completely clean within about a week. The fastest can be clean within 2 to 3 days, while some may take 10 days to be clean, depending on the individual's uterine contraction condition. If it hasn't been clean within 10 days, you should go to the hospital for a thorough check to see if the medication abortion is incomplete. About a month after medication abortion, your period will come. If it hasn't come within 40 days, you should also go to the hospital for prenatal examination. After medication abortion, pay attention to rest, enhance nutrition, avoid cold and spicy food, and avoid cold water. Abstain from sexual intercourse and sitz baths for one month. I hope this helps you. Wishing you good health.
