Patient's question:
Hello, I have been on my period for nine days after an abortion, and there is still a little blood. Can I take Black-Bone Chicken and White Phoenix Pill to shorten the bleeding time and help the uterus contract and expel tissue?If not, what medicine should I take?
Should I go to the hospital for a check-up after 15 days?
Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, it is normal for a woman to experience bleeding for six to seven days after an abortion. If the bleeding persists for more than seven days, it may be due to incomplete evacuation. It is advisable to visit the hospital for a check-up promptly. If the abortion was not complete, it is necessary to undergo immediate treatment. Additionally, sexual activity should not be resumed for at least one month after an abortion. It is recommended to take Yimucao ointment orally for treatment. At the same time, appropriate physical activity should be maintained to promote the expulsion of blood clots from the uterus. A follow-up ultrasound examination should be performed at the hospital two weeks after the abortion.
