Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, I bled for about half a month after an abortion. Today is the twenty-fourth day, and I suddenly have brown discharge with abdominal pain. What is the cause? I haven't gone to the hospital for a follow-up yet. The last time the doctor asked me to come back for a check-up after thirty days.Doctor's answer:
If a woman engages in sexual activity too soon after an abortion, it can easily lead to acute endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and may even result in infertility. Therefore, sexual activity is strictly prohibited within one month after an abortion.Advice: It is highly likely that you have a gynecological infection. It is recommended to undergo a gynecological examination, including an abdominal ultrasound, and to have your vaginal discharge tested. Once a clear diagnosis is made, symptomatic treatment is preferable. Avoid self-medication to prevent delaying the condition and causing the opposite effect. Pay attention to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in the external genital area.
