Some women may undergo abortion to terminate their pregnancy after an unexpected pregnancy, but the abortion procedure can cause significant harm to the body. After the abortion surgery, it is necessary to pay attention to observing various symptoms after the operation. If any abnormalities occur, it is necessary to immediately go to the hospital for a follow-up examination. So, what's the serious issue with excessive bleeding after an abortion?
When women have an abortion, the equipment can damage the endometrium and cervix, which can easily cause wounds, so there may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding, which is a normal phenomenon. After an abortion, vaginal bleeding usually lasts for about seven days and can be cleaned up, and some women can clean up in two or three days. If vaginal bleeding persists for more than seven days and is not completely clean, or if there is a significant amount of bleeding and symptoms such as abdominal pain and back pain occur, it may be caused by incomplete abortion and requires a B-ultrasound examination at the hospital.
Performing an ultrasound can show if there are any pregnancy residues in the uterine cavity. If there are still residues in the uterus, immediate curettage surgery should be performed. If residues are not disposed of in a timely manner and remain in the uterine cavity for a long time, it is easy to cause intrauterine infection, and in severe cases, it may also lead to infertility.
The bleeding time after abortion is relatively long, and it may also be caused by poor uterine contractions, with intermittent bleeding. When this phenomenon occurs, it needs to be dealt with in a timely manner. If left untreated, it may also cause infection or hemorrhagic anemia. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination and take some medication to promote uterine contractions under the guidance of a doctor. After taking the medication for a few days, vaginal bleeding can be relieved.
