Patient's question:
Working in a company, it's currently the time for layoffs. To keep my job, I've been working extremely hard every day, putting on a show of performance. But suddenly, I found out I'm pregnant. I don't want the company to find out and fire me, so I secretly had an abortion. It's been half a month now, and besides the lochia, you know how long does the lochia usually last after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, after an induced abortion, there may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding. Under normal circumstances, vaginal bleeding usually lasts for about three to seven days and is within the normal range. If the vaginal bleeding persists for more than half a month, it is still necessary to promptly go to the hospital for a follow-up examination. There is a possibility that the specific and thorough recovery of the uterine appendages may have residual embryonic tissue in the uterine cavity. If necessary, a D&C procedure may be required for treatment.
