Patient's question:
I had an abortion yesterday, and there was no blood with the sanitary pad. Is that normal? Everyone says it should bleed.Doctor's answer:
Hello, a small amount of vaginal bleeding 1-7 days after an abortion is normal, and it should not exceed 10 days. Don't worry, as per your situation, a small amount of vaginal bleeding 4 days after an abortion is normal.Advice: It is recommended that you rest for half a month, avoid heavy physical labor and strenuous exercise, and do not take a bath while bleeding is not fully stopped. Abstain from sexual activity for one month to prevent upward infection through the vagina, which may cause inflammation of the reproductive organs. Eat more protein-rich foods to aid in recovery, and have a follow-up ultrasound 10 days after the abortion.
