Patient's question:
I just had an abortion without anesthesia yesterday. This morning, the bleeding isn't as heavy, but now it's starting to bleed a bit again. I also have some stomach pain and sometimes feel bloated. My stomach is still a bit swollen. I'm taking the prescribed medication on time. What could be the reason? Is it normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is also normal for the amount of bleeding after an abortion to be less, which is often the result of good uterine contractions and timely closure of blood sinuses. However, a small number of women may experience cervical canal adhesion or blockage, which prevents residual tissue from being expelled. This is often accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain and fever. It is recommended that you continue to monitor your condition and have a follow-up ultrasound at the hospital two weeks after the procedure to check the recovery of the uterus and whether it has been completely cleared.
