Patient's question:
Patient Gender: Doctor, I took Misoprostol on the 25th. About two and a half hours later that day, I passed a large amount of blood and pink placenta. The next day, the bleeding was less. I thought it was already better, but on the third day, the abdominal pain started again, and so did the bleeding. On the fourth day, I felt like I passed a piece of what seemed like a meaty membrane. Until today, the fifth day, I still have abdominal pain. Is this normal? What should I do? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello, after taking medication for an abortion, if you still have bleeding with red discharge and experience some pain when discharging the secretion, it indicates that it hasn't been completely cleared yet. Generally, bleeding after medication abortion stops within 3 to 7 days. If bleeding persists for more than 10 days, it may be due to incomplete medication abortion. If bleeding continues for 10 days, you should go to the hospital for a check-up, and in necessary cases, a uterine evacuation may be required.Bleeding lasting more than a week suggests incomplete clearance, and you can go to the hospital for a check-up. If necessary, a uterine evacuation can be performed. After a medication abortion is complete, the vagina will no longer continue to discharge secretions.
Make sure to rest and eat foods rich in iron, such as jujubes, to replenish your blood. Avoid getting cold. If you have any questions, feel free to continue consulting—I’d be happy to help you.
