Patient's question:
Hello.I am a 19-year-old girl who is pregnant in the early stages, and this is my first abortion. There was a little blood on the day of the procedure, but it stopped completely the next day. Is this normal?
After the abortion, I didn’t feel any physical discomfort, nor did I take special care or rest. I continued with my usual lifestyle. Will this have any adverse effects later? I didn’t take too many anti-inflammatory medications—will this cause a problem?
Around two weeks later, I had sexual intercourse. What impact will this have? There was bleeding, but it wasn’t very frequent. What’s going on?
Two weeks later, dark red discharge came from my vagina. What is this reaction?
Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is common to have a small amount of vaginal bleeding after an abortion, which usually lasts for about a week. It is normal not to bleed or to have very little bleeding after the surgery, indicating that the procedure was successful. The body may feel weak after an abortion, so it is important to rest and enhance nutrition to help the body recover quickly. Additionally, follow medical advice for medication to prevent infection.
