What is the cause of intermittent vaginal bleeding after abortion?

Artificial abortion is a common method of forcibly ending an unwanted pregnancy. However, abortion surgery causes great harm to the patient's body. Some patients experience intermittent vaginal bleeding a few days after the operation. There are several related reasons.

1. Incomplete abortion

Normally, there will be a small amount of vaginal bleeding for 3 to 7 days after an abortion. If the bleeding lasts for more than 10 days, it may be considered an incomplete abortion or incomplete abortion. If the abortion is not completely sucked out, part of the chorionic villi or decidual tissue will remain in the uterus, affecting uterine contraction and causing continuous bleeding. Women who have abortions must go to a regular hospital and choose the appropriate method to avoid postoperative bleeding and other complications.

2. Postoperative infection

After an abortion, the patient is weak and the uterus has suffered great trauma, making it extremely weak to resist the outside world. If the patient is not properly cared for during the recovery period or has frequent sexual intercourse, bacteria may enter the vagina and extend to the uterus, possibly causing pus and blood, and may be accompanied by abdominal pain, fever, etc.

3. Poor uterine contraction

Women who have frequent abortions have greater damage to their uterus. Long-term abortions can cause poor uterine contractions and irregular vaginal bleeding after surgery. Some women may also have congenital uterine hypoplasia, which can also cause postoperative bleeding.
