Patient's question:
I have had an abortion without anesthesia for some time now. Recently, I have been experiencing intermittent brown discharge, similar to what happens when menstruation is about to end. I'm not sure if this is normal. I feel very upset because the previous surgery didn't seem to be completely effective, so I'd like to consult about what symptoms might be associated with this condition.Doctor's answer:
If an abortion is not performed cleanly, the following symptoms may reappear:1. Recurrent intermittent lower abdominal pain, accompanied by vaginal bleeding during the pain.
2. The duration of vaginal bleeding will be longer than usual. Normally, after an abortion, bleeding typically stops within about 7 days post-surgery. However, if the procedure is not clean, the vaginal bleeding may last longer than 7 days.
3. If the abortion is not performed cleanly, the vaginal bleeding may turn bright red instead of dark red.
