Patient's question:
A few days ago, my aunt unexpectedly got pregnant. If she were to carry the pregnancy to term at her age, she would be considered a high-risk pregnancy. Therefore, she underwent an abortion. In the past few days, she has experienced symptoms such as bleeding and fatigue. She went to the hospital for a thorough examination, but no results have been obtained yet. So, she wants to ask the netizens if bleeding after an abortion is normal?Doctor's answer:
Generally, after an abortion procedure, vaginal bleeding may last for about one to ten days. However, the amount of bleeding is usually not significant and gradually decreases. If a patient experiences excessive bleeding and a prolonged duration after the abortion, but a careful ultrasound examination at the hospital does not reveal any obvious issues, it is likely due to poor uterine contraction following the abortion. Therefore, it is best to continue using medication for a few days to enhance uterine contraction and anti-inflammatory treatment.
