Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to ask a question. On the fourth day after my abortion, I had blood clots appear, and the sanitary pad had a pungent smell. Also, when I went to the bathroom, I felt a heavy sensation in my lower abdomen and buttocks. Is this normal? My period is usually around the 21st of each month, and I had the surgery on the 13th. Does this affect it?First follow-up question: The doctor is right, I have gynecological inflammation (I had already treated it before the surgery, and the doctor said it was okay to proceed). I would like to ask if this will affect my recovery after the abortion? Will it have an impact in the future? Thank you!!!!!!
Doctor's answer:
Bleeding after an abortion should not exceed two weeks, and the amount of bleeding should not exceed menstrual flow. If it exceeds these standards, it is necessary to consider incomplete abortion or infection as the cause. It is best to go to the hospital for a clear diagnosis, symptomatic treatment, and to avoid overuse of medication.Guidance:
Initial recovery from the surgery typically takes about one week, while complete recovery requires an entire menstrual cycle. After an abortion, it is important to rest, maintain a positive mindset, and enhance nutrition. It is recommended to stay in bed for 2-3 days after the procedure, as the cervix has not fully closed and the endometrium is still in the healing process. During this period, it is particularly important to maintain cleanliness in the external genital area...
