Patient's question:
I just had an abortion four days ago and there was very little bleeding. By the second day, it had stopped, but some brown, grainy-looking substance was still coming out.Doctor's answer:
Hello! It is normal for most women to experience vaginal bleeding within 7 days after an abortion procedure. You have been bleeding for 4 days after your abortion, and this is not necessarily because it wasn’t done cleanly. Your current bleeding is normal, but it doesn’t guarantee that everything is already clean. We advise you not to be anxious and to continue monitoring. If you still have vaginal bleeding after 7 days, you should visit the hospital for an ultrasound examination, as there is a higher likelihood of incomplete abortion. If there is no bleeding after 7 days, then it is normal. During this period, you should not have sexual intercourse.
