Patient's question:
Half a month ago I had an abortion and now suddenly the skin below has peeled off, is this menstruation? Is this a normal phenomenon?Doctor's answer:
Your situation is abnormal. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a re-examination. After an abortion, if there is peeling after half a month, it is not ruled out that there may be residual tissue in the uterus or secondary infection, and an ultrasound needs to be performed for a thorough examination to confirm. Generally, after a miscarriage, the bleeding will stop once it becomes clean. It is necessary to wait for about a month after a miscarriage to completely restore menstruation. After an abortion, there may be a small amount of bleeding again, which usually lasts for 7-15 days. If the bleeding duration exceeds 15 days or the amount of bleeding is more than the menstrual period, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. After an abortion, pay attention to hygiene and enhance nutrition for one month. Avoid sexual activity for a full month after recovery, and take timely contraceptive measures after resuming sexual activity. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to clarify the situation and then take medication.
