Patient's question:
My girlfriend is 24 years old this year. A few days ago, I accompanied her to the hospital for an abortion. Why is there still bleeding 10 days after the abortion? Isn't it usually around a week after the procedure that the bleeding stops? Now, 10 days after the abortion, she has not only bleeding but also abdominal pain.Doctor's answer:
If the flow of people reappears with broken skin after 10 days, it is mostly caused by remnants. Therefore, it is necessary to go to the hospital for an ultrasound to check if there are any remnants. If there are remnants, they need to be removed. Of course, if the remnants are not very large, you can take Yimucao Granules or Chuaoneng Granules to help expel the remnants. If they are relatively large, then a D&C (dilation and curettage) may be necessary. Otherwise, if the remnants remain in the uterine cavity for a long time, it can lead to infection or heavy bleeding.
