Patient's question:
Because she was too young, she was afraid to have the baby and had an abortion last month. It has been 18 days since the abortion, and she is still bleeding from her vagina, which has not completely stopped. She doesn't know if this is normal. Is it normal for there to be bleeding 18 days after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, the general time for peeling after an induced abortion is approximately 7 to 10 days. If it is less than 18 days, in addition to peeling, it is necessary to consider poor uterine involution or the presence of residual tissue in the uterine cavity. It is recommended to first undergo an ultrasound examination to carefully check the condition of the uterine cavity. If residual tissue is found in the uterine cavity, the choice between medication or a second procedure to remove the residual tissue will depend on its size.
