How much blood does my miscarriage bleed?

The amount of bleeding during abortion varies from person to person, and may be related to factors such as the type of abortion, gestational age, and personal constitution. When the amount of bleeding is large, you need to be alert to the risk of heavy bleeding and it is recommended to seek medical attention in time. Common causes include incomplete abortion, infection, or poor uterine contraction. Treatment methods include medical curettage, surgical curettage, or anti-infection treatment.

1. The relationship between abortion type and bleeding volume

Abortion is divided into natural abortion and induced abortion. The amount of bleeding in natural abortion is usually related to the gestational age. The amount of bleeding in early abortion within 12 weeks of pregnancy is relatively small, but if it is an incomplete abortion, residual tissue may cause continuous bleeding. The amount of bleeding in late abortion may be more after 12 weeks of pregnancy, especially when the placenta is not completely separated. In induced abortion, medical abortion may cause prolonged bleeding time, while surgical abortion may cause heavy bleeding due to improper operation.

2. Common causes of heavy bleeding

Incomplete abortion is one of the main causes of excessive bleeding, as the remaining embryonic tissue can stimulate the uterus to continue bleeding. Infection can also cause increased bleeding, especially if hygiene is not taken care of after the abortion or inflammation is not treated in time. Poor uterine contraction can affect hemostasis and lead to increased bleeding. Certain pathological factors, such as coagulation disorders or uterine fibroids, can also aggravate bleeding.

3. Treatment of heavy bleeding

In case of heavy bleeding, treatment measures should be taken according to the specific cause. Medical curettage is suitable for incomplete abortion. Commonly used drugs include misoprostol and mifepristone to help expel residual tissue. Surgical curettage directly removes the residue in the uterus and is suitable for cases where drugs are ineffective or bleeding is severe. If there is an infection, antibiotics such as cephalosporins or amoxicillin are required for anti-infection treatment. At the same time, paying attention to rest, supplementing nutrition such as iron-rich foods and avoiding strenuous exercise will help recovery.

The amount of bleeding after abortion varies from person to person, but if the amount of bleeding is too much or lasts too long, you need to see a doctor in time to find out the cause and take targeted treatment. In daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene, a proper diet and adequate rest can help reduce the risk of complications. If you have abnormal symptoms, such as fever, abdominal pain or continuous heavy bleeding, you should see a doctor immediately.
