Pain after abortion surgery, sudden increase in blood flow on the fourth day after the procedure?

Patient's question:

Post-abortion pain: On the fourth day after the procedure, the bleeding suddenly increased. Abdominal pain also worsened. In the first three days, the bleeding was not as heavy, and the pain was not as intense. I have been cleaning the external genital area daily and avoiding cold water. What should I do in this situation? Do I need to go to the hospital?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally after an artificial abortion, there will be a small amount of bleeding for 3-7 days.
Advice: Usually, bleeding is heavier in the first 3 days and gradually decreases afterward. In your case, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound to check the reasons for increased bleeding and abdominal pain, and then receive treatment. You should also engage in appropriate activities to promote the discharge of blood clots from the uterus.
