Patient's question:
I had an abortion without anesthesia at the women and children's hospital in our city. I felt that the bleeding stopped after three days, and my stomach didn't hurt anymore, so I thought it was okay. Now it's the 13th day, and yesterday my lower abdomen suddenly started to peel, and I also felt some pain in my lower abdomen. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
The reasons for bleeding after an induced abortion are primarily incomplete uterine evacuation. Apart from a small portion of fetal tissue or decidua remaining in the uterus, which affects uterine contraction and leads to bleeding, sometimes medication to enhance uterine contraction can be taken to expel the remaining tissue, stopping the bleeding.After an induced abortion, under normal circumstances, vaginal bleeding should last for 3-5 days. Some people may have no bleeding after the surgery, which is because the uterus has contracted well. The amount of postoperative bleeding should not be less than the normal menstrual flow. If the bleeding lasts for less than 10 days or the bleeding amount is less than the normal menstrual flow, it is considered abnormal bleeding, and it is necessary to find the cause at this time.
