Patient's question:
I would like to ask, on the fourth day after my abortion, I had blood clots appear, brown in color, with a pungent smell on the sanitary pad, and a sensation of heaviness in the lower abdomen and buttocks when using the restroom. Is this normal? It was normal a few days ago, and there wasn't much blood. It's only been happening in the last few days.Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis:Hello, after an induced abortion, it is best to rest for one week. During this week, you may experience irregular vaginal bleeding, among other symptoms. Avoid cold and spicy foods. Currently, it is recommended to use blood-activating and blood-stasis-resolving medications.
Advice:
You can continue using the medication prescribed by your doctor. Two weeks after the abortion, go to the gynecology department of a hospital for an ultrasound follow-up. Avoid sexual intercourse before your menstrual period arrives.
