Patient's question:
I had an abortion without anesthesia and it wasn't cleaned properly, which led to heavy bleeding. Later, I underwent a hysteroscopy. It has been exactly ten days since then. I was hospitalized for three days to receive antibiotics, but now I experience a little bleeding every two or three days, after which it stops. I want to ask if this is due to gynecological inflammation?Doctor's answer:
The injury to the endometrium caused by painless induced abortion and hysteroscopic curettage is slightly more severe than a single miscarriage, so spotting could be a result of the injury. Generally, if vaginal bleeding lasts less than 7 days, it is recommended to take oral antibiotics to prevent infection. If the bleeding is persistent and excessive, it is advisable to visit a gynecology department in the hospital. Medications to repair the endometrium can be used in such cases. As long as regular health check-ups are conducted, local hygiene is paid attention to, and there is no unsafe sexual activity, severe gynecological inflammation is usually avoidable.
