Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I just had an abortion. Hello, what should I pay attention to after having an abortion?Doctor's answer:
A yellow discharge after childbirth is likely caused by postoperative infection. Postoperative infection typically occurs within 1 to 7 days after surgery and may present with symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain, an increasing amount of discharge, and a foul odor. This is due to bacterial infection. There are many types of pathogenic bacteria, mainly including anaerobic streptococci, hemolytic streptococci, staphylococcus, and Escherichia coli. Most patients have a mixed infection of several types of bacteria. The sources of bacterial infection mainly include self-infection and external infection. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for a thorough examination and treatment.
