Patient's question:
On the seventh day after the procedure, the bleeding stopped. However, on the 14th day, which is today, there was fresh red blood, and I felt a slight sensation of heaviness in my lower abdomen. I want to ask what this could be and if it's serious? I was very upset yesterday, does that have anything to do with it? Thank you!!First follow-up question: Hello, I have severe cervical erosion, and I put medication inside two days ago. Does this have anything to do with it? Is it okay to use this medication now, just two weeks after the procedure?
Second follow-up question: It should be clean, as the surgery report mentioned "villi," and I was told by the doctor that the presence of villi means it was done cleanly. I used to have my period on the 21st.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, post-abortion bleeding is due to the small amount of bleeding left on the uterine wall after the placenta is detached during an induced abortion, which gradually stops as the uterus contracts and the wound heals. Post-procedure bleeding from a painless abortion typically lasts for 3-5 days, with vaginal bleeding gradually ceasing, and should not exceed 10-15 days in total. If the vaginal bleeding exceeds the amount of menstrual blood, lasts for more than two weeks, and is accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, cloudy and foul-smelling leukorrhea, it is important to seek medical review and treatment promptly.
