Patient's question:
My wife is 27 years old. She previously had pelvic inflammatory disease. On October 14th, she underwent an abortion surgery, but her recovery was slow. Two weeks later, a check-up revealed endometritis and vaginitis. There is still one wound that has not fully healed. Over twenty days later, there was bleeding, but it wasn't continuous—sometimes it would occur, then stop for a day or half a day, and then start again. The day before yesterday and yesterday, there was no bleeding, and she also mentioned that she didn't feel any discomfort. What could be the reason?First follow-up question: However, after the surgery, we went to the hospital for several check-ups, and the doctors never mentioned an incomplete surgery. One doctor even said that the surgery was relatively clean.
Second follow-up question
Doctor's answer:
Within one week after the flow of people, the vagina will bleed, with the amount gradually decreasing and eventually stopping. The discharge will have no odor and usually clears up within two weeks. Some people may have a longer bleeding period, while others may only bleed for 2-3 days, and some may not bleed at all. All of these are normal. If the bleeding lasts more than 15 days, the amount of bleeding exceeds the menstrual flow, especially if the discharge has a foul odor and is accompanied by symptoms such as fever and abdominal pain, it should be considered an infection or incomplete miscarriage. It is recommended to have a color Doppler ultrasound examination to check the intrauterine condition, and a uterine curettage can be performed if necessary.
