How to make sure the flow is clean

To determine whether the abortion is clean, you can observe and analyze the situation by observing the lochia, checking the menstrual period, performing B-ultrasound examination, paying attention to other physical symptoms, and performing cervical smear examination.

1. Observe the lochia: Lochia is the fluid discharged from the vagina after abortion, usually including blood, mucus and decidual tissue. Under normal circumstances, lochia will last for 7 to 10 days, gradually decreasing, and the color will change from bright red to dark red or brown. If the bleeding time lasts too long, more than 10 days, or the amount of bleeding is too much, and the color continues to be bright red, this may indicate the possibility of residual bleeding.

2. Check the menstrual status: After the abortion, as the ovarian function recovers, menstruation will occur. If the menstruation comes on time and the menstrual flow is normal, it usually indicates that the abortion is clean. If the menstruation is delayed or the menstrual flow is reduced, there may be an abnormality and further examination is needed.

3. Perform B-ultrasound examination: B-ultrasound examination is an important means to determine whether the abortion is clean. B-ultrasound examination is performed about 1 month after the abortion to observe the thickness of the endometrium and the situation in the uterine cavity. If the thickness of the endometrium returns to the normal range and there is no residue in the uterine cavity, it means that the abortion is clean.

4. Pay attention to other physical symptoms: In addition to the above-mentioned lochia and menstruation, you can also observe whether there are other physical symptoms such as abdominal pain, fever, abnormal leucorrhea, etc. If these symptoms occur, it may be that the abortion is not clean or there are complications such as infection, and you need to seek medical attention in time.

5. Cervical smear test: Although the cervical smear test is not a direct indicator of whether the abortion is clean, a cervical smear test 3-6 months after the abortion can prevent diseases such as cervical cancer.

If you experience any discomfort or abnormal symptoms after an abortion, you should seek medical attention in time for professional diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, you should pay attention to rest and recovery after an abortion, avoid overwork and bad habits, so as to promote physical recovery.
