Patient's question:
Because I am a student, I haven't had a good rest since last night after the crowd. It's the seventh day after the procedure now, and my bleeding is still about the same as my menstrual period. I have severe lower back pain and lower abdominal pain similar to menstrual cramps. Is this normal after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
On the seventh day after the procedure, the bleeding volume is still at the level of a normal menstrual period, and abdominal pain has reappeared, which is abnormal. After an abortion, the bleeding volume typically increases gradually and is usually less than the menstrual flow, and it should stop within one week after the procedure. Since you are still experiencing bleeding one week post-procedure, it may be due to incomplete abortion or poor uterine contraction. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital for a gynecological ultrasound examination. If necessary, a D&C procedure or medication treatment may be required.
