What is the reason for intermittent bleeding after 20 days of abortion?

After an abortion, vaginal bleeding usually lasts about 7-14 days, and the amount of vaginal bleeding is less than the normal menstrual volume. If the bleeding time exceeds 2 weeks, you need to go to the hospital for a physical examination immediately. If the bleeding lasts for 20 days, it is an abnormal phenomenon and is most likely caused by the following factors:

1. Hemorrhage in the uterine cavity: If the uterine contractions are poor after uterine suction curettage during artificial abortion, blood and blood clots will accumulate in the uterine cavity, which will lead to long-term vaginal bleeding.

2. Infection during abortion: During artificial abortion, if the surgical instruments are not strictly disinfected or the postoperative medical care is not good, infection is likely to occur. Once infection occurs, it may cause gynecological inflammations such as endometritis, adnexitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease, which may lead to symptoms of long-term vaginal bleeding or non-menstrual bleeding, and may also cause abdominal pain.

3. Incomplete abortion: If the abortion is not completely discharged, resulting in residual tissue in the uterine cavity, it will not only cause long-term vaginal bleeding, but also cause symptoms such as low back and abdominal pain.

From the above, we can know that there are many reasons for intermittent bleeding for 20 days after abortion. Therefore, if vaginal bleeding after abortion lasts too long, you must go to the hospital for medical examination in time to facilitate early diagnosis of the cause and early treatment to avoid serious damage to the body and even affect pregnancy.

The above is a detailed introduction to the reasons for intermittent bleeding 20 days after abortion.
