Why is there brown discharge after abortion? Actively treat according to the 4 causes

Brown discharge after abortion may be caused by embryo retention, poor uterine contraction, intrauterine infection, gestational trophoblastic disease, etc., and it is necessary to first do an examination to confirm the diagnosis and then treat the symptoms. If the embryo is retained, then curettage should be performed. If the uterus is poorly contracted, drugs such as motherwort should be used. If there is intrauterine infection, antibiotics should be used. Gestational trophoblastic disease requires hysterectomy or radiotherapy.

If you do not want a child due to an unexpected pregnancy, you can have an abortion within 70 days of pregnancy. Because abortion will cause some trauma to the endometrium, brown discharge will appear in the vagina for about a week after the abortion. Sometimes, brown discharge will still appear in the vagina one week after the abortion. At this time, some measures should be taken for treatment. So, how to treat brown discharge after abortion?
1. Actively check to find out the cause <br/>Brown vaginal discharge after abortion will generally stop in about a week, and the amount will not be particularly large. At this time, you can just pay attention to rest. If brown discharge continues to appear after abortion and the amount is relatively large, it is best to go to the hospital for B-ultrasound examination, blood HCG examination, etc. to see if there are any problems such as embryo residue, uterine contraction weakness, pelvic infection, hydatidiform mole, etc., and then symptomatic treatment after diagnosis.
2. Actively treat the cause
1. Embryo residue <br/>Improper handling during abortion leads to unclean abortion. When there is embryo residue, there will be brown discharge in the vagina. When this is confirmed, another uterine curettage is needed. After removing the embryo residue, the brown discharge will gradually disappear. However, it should be noted that after the second uterine curettage, B-ultrasound examinations should be performed regularly.
2. Poor uterine contraction <br/>When the uterus contracts poorly, it will affect the repair of the endometrium, and sometimes it may cause intrauterine fluid accumulation, which will cause continuous brown vaginal discharge. When this cause is confirmed, some drugs that promote uterine contraction can be used under the guidance of a doctor, such as Xinshenghua Granules, Motherwort Capsules, and Chanfukang. After reasonable use of the drugs, the brown discharge can also disappear quickly.
3. Uterine cavity infection <br/>If you do not pay attention to personal hygiene after abortion, which leads to bacterial invasion and uterine cavity infection, brown discharge will often continue to appear. At this time, some drugs can be used to fight infection, such as amoxicillin, penicillin, azithromycin, etc. Timely treatment is required, otherwise the condition will be serious and may affect normal conception in the future.
4. Gestational trophoblastic disease <br/>When brown vaginal discharge persists, it is best to do a blood HCG test. If the blood HCG value does not decrease after abortion and is still significantly higher than during pregnancy, be alert to gestational trophoblastic diseases such as hydatidiform mole and choriocarcinoma. When such diseases are diagnosed, hysterectomy or radiotherapy is required.
