Patient's question:
I had an abortion on February 9th. The bleeding lasted for a week, and then stopped for three days before resuming. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Generally speaking, the amount of bleeding after an abortion should not exceed the amount of menstrual bleeding, the duration of bleeding should not exceed two weeks, and abdominal pain should not last more than one week. The bleeding should gradually decrease day by day. If the bleeding decreases and then increases again, or if it does not decrease at all or gradually increases, it is abnormal. Common reasons include incomplete abortion or inflammation/infection. In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any method of abortion can cause certain damage to the pregnant woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. Abortion patients should pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
