Patient's question:
I had an abortion on December 5th in the morning. It's already the third day after the surgery. Before the procedure, I experienced a feeling of chest swelling, and pressing on it would cause some pain, along with a bit of nausea and the urge to vomit. On the day of the surgery, these symptoms disappeared. However, starting from the second day until today, I still have some nausea and the urge to vomit, and the chest remains swollen and painful. I'm very worried, fearing that it wasn't scraped clean or other possible issues. But after going home, the bleeding didn't continue much, and it stopped by the second and third days. However, on the third day after the surgery, when I went to the bathroom to urinate, there was a bit of blood. I don't know if it's normal. I'm looking forward to your reply urgently. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello, the condition of bleeding after an abortion varies from person to person. Some may experience almost no bleeding or very minimal bleeding after an abortion, while others may have no bleeding for a few days before starting to have brownish clots. Some may continue to bleed for about a week after the procedure. It is recommended to rest after an abortion, maintain vaginal hygiene, and avoid vaginal infections. Additionally, sexual activity should be avoided for at least one and a half months to allow the uterus to fully recover.
