Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 22 years old and work as a female employee in a company. I accidentally got pregnant and decided to have an abortion because I didn't want to have a child so soon, considering that I had just started my career. However, after the procedure, I noticed that I was still bleeding. Why am I still bleeding a few days after the abortion?Doctor's answer:
Post-abortion, some vaginal bleeding is normal within the first week, which aligns with the clinical manifestations of an abortion. If the vaginal bleeding is less than the amount of a menstrual period or persists for less than a week, it may indicate an abnormal condition. This could be due to poor uterine contraction or residual tissue remaining. There is also a possibility of intrauterine infection, and it is important to promptly visit the hospital for an ultrasound re-examination. Pay close attention to changes in menstrual volume after an abortion.
