Patient's question:
I had a non-pregnancy termination on December 27th. The day after the procedure, I had no bleeding. From January 1st to 5th, I had some brown discharge, and a pregnancy test still showed positive. When I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, the doctor said my uterus was already very clean. However, by January 10th, I had bleeding again, which was similar to my menstrual period. A pregnancy test now shows negative. I want to ask the doctor what is going on—is it an ectopic pregnancy, or was the termination not done cleanly? Or did the ultrasound doctor make a mistake? I am very worried and would appreciate it if the doctor could reply as soon as possible. It should not be my menstrual period, right??Doctor's answer:
The lack of cleanliness in the flow indicates continuous bleeding that is not stopping and a large amount of blood, accompanied by lower abdominal pain or fever. If you do not have any other physical discomfort, your condition is normal and there is no need to be anxious. At the same time, please be reminded that after an abortion, it is important to rest and keep warm, avoid contact with cold water or spicy foods as much as possible, and take anti-inflammatory medication on time or visit the hospital for an injection to reduce inflammation to prevent intrauterine infection. Additionally, avoid sexual intercourse and sitz baths. Your menstrual cycle will return to normal after about a month.
