Vaginal bleeding after abortion

Vaginal bleeding half a month after abortion may indicate problems such as poor uterine involution, infection, or incomplete removal of residual tissue. You should seek medical attention in time to find out the cause to avoid delaying treatment and causing serious consequences. Depending on the specific cause, you can take medication, physical therapy, or surgical removal to intervene, and pay attention to physical conditioning and daily care.

1Poor uterine involution

After an abortion, the uterus needs some time to return to its normal size and function. If the uterus is weak or incomplete in contraction, it may cause persistent vaginal bleeding. This usually manifests as a small amount of bleeding, but lasts for a long time. The doctor may recommend the use of drugs such as misoprostol to promote uterine contraction, combined with appropriate abdominal warmth to improve circulation. At the same time, moderate activity and avoiding heavy physical labor can also help the uterus recover.

2Intrauterine infection

If the abortion is not performed properly or the postoperative care is not good, intrauterine infection may occur. Intrauterine infection can cause local inflammation, accompanied by vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, and fever. At this time, anti-infection treatment is required, usually using antibiotics such as penicillins and cephalosporins, and Chinese medicine physiotherapy can be used to promote healing. After the operation, you should pay attention to hygiene and avoid sexual intercourse to reduce the risk of infection.

3 Embryonic tissue residue

If the fetal tissue is not completely removed during the abortion process, it may cause tissue to remain in the uterine cavity and cause abnormal uterine bleeding. In this case, it is usually necessary to confirm the situation through ultrasound examination, and take a uterine curettage surgery for further treatment under the doctor's advice. After the operation, you still need to pay attention to recuperation and take antibiotics as prescribed by the doctor to prevent infection.

4. Hormone level disorder

Abortion can cause temporary fluctuations in hormone levels in the body, and some women may experience menstrual cycle disorders or abnormal bleeding. Generally, no special treatment is required, but you can consider regulating your endocrine system with Chinese medicine and adding foods rich in calcium and iron, such as spinach and milk, to your diet to speed up your recovery.

After an abortion, you need to pay special attention to self-health management. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than 7-10 days or increases significantly, or is accompanied by abdominal pain and other abnormal symptoms, you must consult a doctor as soon as possible and take intervention measures. Maintaining an optimistic attitude, getting enough rest, and following the doctor's advice will help the body return to normal as soon as possible, while avoiding the burden of another pregnancy in the short term.
