Why is there still a small amount of bleeding six days after abortion? Analysis from both disease causes and non-disease causes

If there is no other discomfort while bleeding, it is a normal surgical phenomenon. In this case, just pay attention to cleanliness. If there is severe pain while bleeding, it is likely to be endometrial adhesion or embryo retention. Endometrial adhesion can be treated with medication, while embryo retention requires another curettage.

Abortion is a common choice for women with unwanted pregnancies, but most women are unaware of the harmful effects of abortion on the body. In fact, this surgery will not only damage the uterus, but also affect reproductive function to a certain extent, so it is best to think carefully before doing it. There will be a series of sequelae after abortion, so why is there a small amount of bleeding six days after abortion?
1. Non-disease causes of a small amount of bleeding six days after abortion <br/>If there is still a small amount of bleeding on the sixth day after abortion, but there is no other physical discomfort, such as pain, then it is normal. Because abortion is more damaging to the uterus, the bleeding time after the operation is also relatively long, generally about a week. Therefore, a small amount of bleeding on the sixth day is mostly a normal postoperative reaction. In this case, just pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, and generally no special medication is needed.
2. Causes of minor bleeding six days after abortion
1. Endometrial adhesions <br/>Most women will experience endometrial adhesions after abortion, which is caused by the damage of curettage. Endometrial adhesions can easily cause endometritis and also cause mild bleeding. In this case, medication is needed to control the condition. If medication is ineffective, surgery is needed to separate the endometrium again.
2. Embryo residue <br/>If the curettage is not done properly, there will be embryo residue on the uterine wall, which can easily cause a large area of ​​infection on the uterine wall and eventually cause continuous bleeding. However, bleeding caused by embryo residue is usually more painful and there will be uterine cramps, which are usually easy to distinguish.
