Patient's question:
After the abortion surgery, it's been about a week, and I'm experiencing vaginal discharge again. I'd like to ask the doctor how the lochia is supposed to be expelled after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described: It is recommended to go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound to examine the detailed condition of the uterus. When necessary, you can use various medications to enhance uterine contraction under the guidance of a doctor. Generally, after an abortion, the lochia will be completely cleaned up within two weeks, rarely less than 10 days. After the procedure, if the lochia has not dried up after a few days and the situation is normal, there is no need to worry too much about this issue. After an abortion, there is usually a very small amount of bleeding that continues for about a week.
