Patient's question:
After taking medication for an abortion, the bleeding was heavier in the first week, then it decreased but remained minimal. After 20 days, it increased again, and it has been almost a month now. Occasionally, I experience abdominal pain. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Women who still experience bleeding symptoms after medication abortion are usually due to incomplete miscarriage or gynecological inflammation. First, it is important to maintain physiological hygiene and use salt water for rinsing daily. Applying a hot water bag wrapped in zinc can help. Anti-inflammatory drugs should be taken in combination with blood-activating and blood-stopping medications for treatment. In necessary cases, a hysteroscopy may be required for examination.In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any form of induced abortion can cause certain harm to women. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. For example, patients undergoing induced abortion should maintain a balanced diet and avoid cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
