Patient's question:
Hello, I am 22 years old this year, and this is my first time doing medication-induced abortion. After finishing the medication, I went to the hospital for a uterine aspiration procedure. The bleeding lasted for about a week and then stopped. However, a week later, I started bleeding again. What could be the reason? Thank you!First follow-up question: Now I don’t know how much I’m bleeding. I’m using one sanitary pad a day, which is the same as days 3 and 4 of my period. On the second day of bleeding, I had something like an egg, but today is the fourth day, and I feel like it’s gone. Could it be that the procedure wasn’t done cleanly? When I urinate, my urine is very yellow. Should I take any medication? I finished the medication prescribed by the hospital, so do I still need to take anything now?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, bleeding after a normal miscarriage usually occurs around 5 days, with a maximum duration not exceeding 2 weeks. The amount of bleeding is less than that of a regular menstrual period. If bleeding persists after 2 weeks, it may indicate poor uterine contraction, incomplete miscarriage, or infection. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a follow-up ultrasound examination to check if the miscarriage is complete. You can take Yi Mu Cao ointment and pay attention to keeping warm or reducing outdoor activities. This is because your current physical condition is weak and your immunity is low, so it is essential to consume more protein and drink porridge to nourish your body. Avoid spicy and cold foods. Wishing you good health.
