Patient's question:
Doctor; Hello! I had an abortion seven days ago. On the day of the procedure, I experienced bleeding. However, there was no bleeding on the second and third days. Since the fourth day, I have been bleeding an average of one or two drops per day. Could you please tell me what might be the reason for this? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it may be due to surgical trauma. After an induced abortion, you need to rest for 2 weeks and prevent catching a cold or getting a flu. Eat more nutritious foods and avoid foods that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as jujubes, longans, donkey-hide glue, and brown sugar. Pay attention to keeping the external genital area clean and hygienic. Wash with warm water 1-2 times a day and change sanitary pads frequently. Do not take a bath for 2 weeks or until the vaginal bleeding has stopped. Take oral antibiotics to prevent infection, and avoid sexual activity for 1 month. If you have fever, abdominal pain, or abnormal odor in vaginal discharge, it may be caused by an infection. You should seek medical attention promptly.
