Brown discharge after 10 days of abortion

It may be normal to have brown discharge 10 days after an abortion, but you also need to watch out for any abnormalities.

1. Normal recovery period: After an abortion, the body needs some time to recover, and there is usually some bleeding and secretions. These secretions may continue to appear within one to two weeks after the operation, and the color gradually changes from bright red to brown. This is because the endometrium will shed some tissue during the repair process, mixed with blood and discharged from the body. Therefore, if there is only a small amount of brown secretions and no other discomfort symptoms, it may be a normal recovery process.

2. Possibility of infection: If the discharge is accompanied by odor, abdominal pain, fever and other symptoms, it may be a sign of infection. After the abortion, the endometrium and cervix are in a relatively fragile state and are easily invaded by bacteria. If infection is suspected, it is recommended to see a doctor as soon as possible. The doctor will give antibiotic treatment or other treatment according to the specific situation.

3. Incomplete uterine recovery: Some women's uterus recovers slowly after abortion, resulting in incomplete shedding of the endometrium, and brown discharge may continue. In this case, B-ultrasound and other examinations are needed to confirm whether there is residual tissue in the uterus. If there is residual tissue, the doctor may recommend a uterine curettage to completely remove it.

4. Changes in hormone levels: After an abortion, the hormone levels in the body will change significantly, which may affect the menstrual cycle and the color and amount of secretions. It takes time for hormone levels to recover, and there may be brown secretions during this period. If there are no other discomforts, usually no special treatment is required. Maintain a healthy lifestyle and the body will gradually recover.

5. Pay attention to personal hygiene: After surgery, it is very important to maintain good personal hygiene. Wash the vulva with warm water every day and avoid using strong irritating detergents. When changing underwear, choose cotton underwear with good breathability and change it every day. Avoid sexual intercourse during the recovery period to avoid infection.

6. Regular check-ups: After an abortion, doctors usually recommend a check-up after a period of time to confirm the body's recovery. Regular check-ups can detect and address potential problems in a timely manner and ensure that the body recovers as quickly as possible.

7. Diet adjustment: During the recovery period, the diet should be light and nutritious. Eat more foods rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, such as fish, eggs, fresh vegetables and fruits. Avoid eating spicy, greasy and cold foods to avoid irritating the stomach and uterus.

8. Proper rest: After the operation, you should pay attention to rest and avoid overwork. Proper rest helps the body recover. You can do some light activities, such as walking, but avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor.

In general, brown discharge after abortion may be a normal recovery phenomenon, but possible abnormalities should not be ignored. If you have any discomfort or questions, it is key to seek medical attention in a timely manner. Maintaining good living habits and hygiene habits will help your body recover as soon as possible.
