Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 26 years old. I had an abortion surgery a month ago. Now, besides lochia, I don't know if it's normal. My daily life and diet are regular. I would like to ask the doctor, how long does lochia usually last after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, the duration of lochia is generally about one week. In most cases, it will not be less than ten days. If the lochia has not completely cleared up within ten days, this may be due to residual tissue remaining in the uterine cavity or a large area of retained blood. It is necessary to consider visiting a hospital for further examinations and then take targeted symptomatic treatment. In addition to treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and a positive mood. Only with a good mindset and sufficient sleep can you recover quickly from the illness.
