Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery at the hospital two days ago, and now I'm still peeling. How long does it take for bleeding to stop after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
If you had an abortion surgery two days ago, and now you have some skin peeling, it's generally normal. Post-abortion skin peeling usually occurs around 3 to 7 days, and it rarely happens before 7 days. So, if you're experiencing skin peeling now, it's quite normal. You should rest well, and you can make some brown sugar ginger tea or take Motherwort tablets. Avoid cold water or strenuous exercise as much as possible. If the peeling occurs before 7 days, besides minor bleeding, it's not normal, and you should go back to the hospital for a check-up promptly.
