After taking it for two days, she experienced uterine contractions but the bleeding stopped, and abdominal pain subsided. However, about a week later, she noticed dark coffee-colored bleeding again.
Help Needed: What could this situation indicate? She is very anxious and seeks medical advice!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to what you said, you should pay attention to rest. Not seeing red does not mean you have recovered. Based on your situation, it is recommended to rest and avoid overexertion. It is advised to stay home for at least 1-2 weeks, while taking anti-inflammatory medication and Motherwort Granules. Currently, your uterus has not returned to normal, so it is not recommended to take any medication indiscriminately.After an induced abortion, mild abdominal pain caused by uterine contractions or a small amount of vaginal bleeding may occur. These are normal phenomena. If there are no other abnormal symptoms, there is generally no need to worry excessively. However, if the abdominal pain is severe or the vaginal bleeding exceeds the normal amount of your menstrual period, you should go to the hospital immediately for a check-up to determine whether the recovery of your uterus is normal and to receive timely treatment.
