What is the reason for bleeding after curettage?

Curettage is a very common abortion surgery. There will be a small amount of bleeding after curettage, which is mainly to discharge blood in the uterine cavity. This is normal. However, if the amount of bleeding is large and the time is long, you need to seek medical attention in time. The cause of heavy bleeding after curettage may be residual in the uterus, improper uterine contraction or infection, and symptomatic treatment is required.

Some people will experience bleeding after undergoing a curettage operation. It is necessary to analyze it carefully. If it is a small amount of bleeding, it is generally normal. However, if the amount is large and lasts for a long time, you must go to the hospital for examination in time, find out the cause and then carry out targeted treatment. Let us carefully analyze the reasons for bleeding after curettage.
Curettage is traumatic to the endometrium. In addition, the blood accumulated in the uterine cavity is not discharged in time during the curettage. Vaginal bleeding will occur within two weeks after the operation. Generally, the amount of blood is less than the menstrual amount, or similar to the menstrual amount, which is normal. Therefore, there will be irregular vaginal bleeding after curettage, and there will be vaginal bleeding within two weeks after the operation, but the amount of bleeding will not be too large, and the amount of bleeding will gradually decrease. This is normal, so don't worry too much.
Generally, you should pay attention to a follow-up check two weeks after the curettage to see how your recovery is. You should pay attention to rest after the operation, refrain from sexual intercourse, eat a light diet, avoid irritating foods, and pay attention to personal hygiene to prevent bleeding and infection. If the bleeding is still not clear after more than two weeks, or the amount of blood exceeds the menstrual volume, please go to the hospital immediately.
If there is a lot of bleeding after curettage and it lasts for a long time, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. Abdominal B-ultrasound examination can clearly find out the cause of bleeding. Check whether there is any residue in the uterus. If there is, you can take medicine to try to expel the residue. If it cannot be expelled, a second operation may be required. Therefore, it is very necessary to choose a regular hospital and an experienced doctor.
If there is no residue, it may also be caused by poor uterine contraction. Use drugs that promote uterine contraction, such as motherwort, for symptomatic treatment. Gynecological inflammation can also lead to heavy bleeding and prolonged bleeding, so it is best to find out before treatment. If it is caused by infection, you can take metronidazole, ofloxacin and other anti-inflammatory drugs, and take Gongxuening or motherwort to stop bleeding. Usually pay attention to keeping the vulva clean and strengthen nutrition.
