Patient's question:
Female, 23 years old, had medication abortion a few days ago, then underwent a D&C procedure. On the third day, bleeding was more than the previous two days, and on the fourth day, she experienced slight lower abdominal pain.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's not quite normal. The black blood clots indicate that your body has an excessive amount of cold Qi. If the bleeding continues for more than a week, it suggests that the medication abortion was incomplete.Suggestions: After an abortion, pay close attention to nutrition, avoid exposure to cold wind, and refrain from eating raw, cold, sour, spicy, or other stimulating foods. Drink plenty of warm water and maintain regular bowel movements. For those with blood heat, it's advisable to consume more fresh fruits and vegetables before menstruation, while avoiding stimulating foods like garlic, onions, chives, and ginger that can increase fire. For those with qi and blood deficiency, it's essential to increase nutrition regularly, such as milk, eggs, soy milk, pork liver, spinach, pork, chicken, and mutton. Avoid raw, cold, or sweet fruits.
