Patient's question:
I accidentally got pregnant and had a medication abortion at the hospital last week. It has been 6 or 7 days since the abortion, but in these days, my leukorrhea has always contained streaks of blood, and occasionally there is a little blood on my underwear. Why do I still have streaks of blood after the medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
There are blood streaks after medication abortion. This is usually normal, but it could also indicate an infection or incomplete abortion. At seven days after medication abortion, a thorough examination can be performed. An ultrasound examination should be done to check if there is any residual tissue in the uterine cavity. If there is residual tissue, a D&C procedure may be necessary. Rest is essential, avoid strenuous exercise, and do not overexert yourself. Pay attention to personal hygiene. Maintain physical and mental health to prevent a weakened immune system from allowing bacteria to invade.
