Patient's question:
I accidentally got pregnant last month and later went to the hospital for an abortion. But I noticed that my leukorrhea wasn't normal after the procedure—it was brownish. What should I do in this situation? It feels like my period, and it's been intermittent for about a month. My partner said it might be inflammation, and I'm currently taking Cephalexin.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you solve your question. Under normal circumstances, there may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding after an abortion, lasting 3 to 5 days, generally not exceeding one week. If there is still brown discharge afterward, it may indicate poor endometrial repair or insufficient tightening. It is recommended to undergo a detailed ultrasound examination. If there are no remnants in the uterine cavity, you can be given motherwort and Bao Gong ointment particles to take orally, followed by further observation.
