Patient's question:
I have been experiencing postpartum bleeding for 18 days, but it is still bleeding, though it has significantly reduced. It still occurs twice a day in the afternoon, and the flow is quite heavy. I don't feel any discomfort in my body—is this normal?Could it be that the postpartum bleeding is not clean? What symptoms would indicate that the postpartum bleeding is not clean?
Doctor's answer:
After taking medication for an abortion, bleeding typically lasts for about 3-10 days. If the bleeding duration is prolonged, it may indicate the presence of residual tissue inside the uterus. You can have a follow-up transvaginal ultrasound after half a month to check for any abnormalities. If residual tissue is found, you can use Motherwort Granules to help expel it. Rest more after the procedure and avoid excessive stress. Wishing you good health!In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any method of induced abortion can cause certain harm to the pregnant woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. Post-abortion patients should focus on self-care, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
