Pregnancy is a joyful thing for everyone, but if it comes as a bolt from the blue, it may be due to various reasons such as congenital genetic diseases, the mother's physical condition, or accidents that force the mother to terminate the pregnancy and undergo induced abortion surgery. Although it is difficult for everyone to accept this bolt from the blue, the overall situation is paramount and everyone has no choice. However, after undergoing induced abortion surgery, women's bodies will become very weak, and there will also be vaginal bleeding, accompanied by uncomfortable symptoms such as abdominal pain. So, what color is lochia after induced abortion?
Actually, I didn't know what lochia was originally, but after consulting and researching, I found out that lochia refers to vaginal bleeding in women after giving birth, induced abortion, or abortion. Unlike menstruation, lochia can be classified into three types: bloody lochia, episodic lochia, and white lochia, as long as it adheres and falls off with the uterine decidua after delivery. The doctor said that in general, the amount of bleeding after induced abortion is not greater than menstrual flow, and it is normal for the duration not to exceed 15 days.
It should be noted that some people may think that red is lochia, but in fact it is not, because lochia is divided into three types, and the color of lochia in the first 3-4 days is bright red; Then around the 10th day, it turns into a watery lochia, which is brown in color; After the last 10 days, lochia appears white, very white, and sticky, but different from vaginal discharge because it is yellow and thick mucus. Under normal circumstances, postpartum lochia is either red or purplish red, or light red. Overall, in the first few days, the color of lochia is relatively bright and dark, and it will gradually become lighter and cleaner over time.
The most direct method for lochia after induction of labor is to start with diet and daily life conditioning. It is recommended to eat more eggs and lean meat, drink more milk and soybean milk, eat less hot things, and remember not to drink alcohol; At the same time, pay attention to rest and avoid staying up late; It's also possible to do more exercise, but focus on gentle exercises; If possible, you can also stew soup, but not more than 4 times a week.
Because the resistance of women after induced abortion surgery is lower than during menstruation, women must pay attention to personal hygiene after induced abortion, and change sanitary pads frequently during lochia, at most every 6 hours. If taking a shower, it is necessary to use clean water every day, but be careful not to rinse the vagina specifically; Also, sexual activity should be avoided within one month after induced abortion; Women's rooms should also pay attention to air circulation. Because at this time, the metabolic rate in women's bodies accelerates, similar to the principle of catching a cold; Finally, it is important to remember that if lochia persists for more than 20 days after induced abortion, it is important to seek medical treatment as soon as possible, as lochia can sometimes lead to serious infections or chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.
