Patient's question:
It has been half a month since the D&C procedure. When I got off work today, I felt some discharge coming out between my legs. When I went to the restroom, I noticed it was blood, but the color was abnormal—it was brown, and the smell was very strong. What could be the reason for brown vaginal discharge after bleeding?Doctor's answer:
After an induced abortion, it is a relatively common phenomenon for women to have brown discharge. Under normal circumstances, the bleeding period after an induced abortion is 7 days, the amount of bleeding will never be less than the menstrual flow, there will be no blood clots, and the amount of bleeding will gradually increase. The color of the blood will change from bright red to dark brown or light pink, light brown, and finally the bleeding will completely stop. Therefore, it is normal for some patients to have brown discharge after an induced abortion. It is recommended that you first observe carefully. If the amount of bleeding is significant, it is advisable to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination. There are several treatment methods for gynecological diseases, but since the patient's condition is different, the treatment methods used will also vary. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment once symptoms are detected.
