Is it normal not to bleed after an abortion?

Patient's question:

The other day I went to the hospital for an abortion, but it never broke the skin. I want to ask if it's normal for the skin not to break during an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is normal not to have any skin tearing after an abortion surgery, which indicates that your procedure was performed well. It is normal to have vaginal bleeding or no vaginal bleeding within 7 to 10 days after an abortion. I suggest you do not need to worry. You should not have sexual activity for one month after the surgery and need to rest properly. Even if there is no skin tearing after two weeks, you should also maintain good hygiene for the external genitalia. During daily showers, you should clean the external genitalia.
