Patient's question:
Half a month ago I had an abortion procedure, and now suddenly the skin below has peeled. Is this menstrual bleeding? 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 a miscarriage, 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 detailed examination to confirm. Generally, after a miscarriage, when the bleeding stops, there will be no further bleeding. It is necessary to wait for about a month after a miscarriage for the menstrual cycle to fully recover. After an abortion surgery, it is common to experience 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 detailed examination. After an abortion, pay attention to hygiene and enhance nutrition for one month, avoid sexual activity, and take timely contraceptive measures after fully recovering from sexual activity. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to clarify the situation and then take medication.
