What is the cause of bleeding after a miscarriage?

Artificial abortion refers to the act of terminating a pregnancy by artificial means or with drugs due to an unexpected pregnancy or an imperfect fetus. Normally, vaginal bleeding will stop within a week after abortion. If vaginal bleeding continues for more than a week or the amount of bleeding is too heavy, the following situations should be considered.

1. Most of the time, a small amount of intermittent bleeding for about a week is normal. After a miscarriage, the uterus will naturally contract. During the contraction process, some red blood cells, internal tissues, and waste blood will be discharged. In this case, there is no need to see a doctor. Pay more attention to maintenance for about 10 days on weekdays, and the symptoms will stop.

2. There is no clean flow, and there are residual blood in the uterine cavity. If bleeding still occurs one week after the abortion, accompanied by severe abdominal pain, this may be the case. The main manifestations are paroxysmal severe abdominal pain, increased vaginal bleeding, bright red color, large blood clots, and abdominal pain relief after the blood clots are discharged. It is recommended to seek medical attention immediately.

3. Infection after artificial abortion. Common infections include endometritis, myometritis, adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. The main symptoms are abdominal pain, abdominal pain, long-term small amount of vaginal bleeding or irregular bleeding, dark red and odor. If the above situation occurs, please consult and go to the hospital for examination first.

After an artificial abortion, the patient usually becomes weak and needs some time to return to normal. Especially if there is still bleeding within a week, you should pay more attention to recovery. It is recommended to pay attention to the nutritional balance in the diet and increase the intake of protein such as eggs, milk, fish, poultry such as chicken and duck, meat, etc. Eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid eating raw, cold, hard and other foods to avoid affecting the body's recovery.

The above is the relevant introduction. After abortion, patients need to pay attention to rest, wash the lower body with warm water every day, ensure hygiene, pay attention to nutritional supplements, and pay attention to continuous vaginal bleeding. It is best to go to the hospital to check the cause of bleeding, investigate and treat it, and avoid leaving sequelae.
