Bleeding suddenly occurred on the fifth day of abortion

Abortion surgery is not unfamiliar to women, but there are many things that women need to pay attention to after the abortion. Because abortion causes serious damage to the female uterus, postoperative repair is also very important. Some women may experience bleeding symptoms after abortion due to various reasons. So why does a woman suddenly bleed on the fifth day after having an abortion?

1. Bright red bleeding suddenly occurs on the fifth day after an abortion, which is abnormal. Although it takes about seven days for the bleeding from an artificial abortion to stop, the amount of bleeding is not much and is dark red. Bright red bleeding is mostly caused by incomplete abortion. You must go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination as soon as possible. If there are any residues in the uterine cavity, you must perform a uterine curettage immediately to avoid heavy bleeding or infection in the uterine cavity, which will cause serious damage to the uterus. In severe cases, adhesions in the uterine cavity and blockage of the fallopian tubes may occur, which will have a very obvious impact on future pregnancies.

2. The bleeding time after abortion is generally about one week. As time goes by, the amount of bleeding will decrease day by day. If there is still bright red blood, it generally means that the uterus has not recovered well. In addition, it is necessary to consider whether there is any residue in the uterine cavity. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a pelvic ultrasound to see if there is any blood accumulation or residue in the uterine cavity. At the same time, patients with particularly heavy bleeding need emergency uterine curettage surgery. After the surgery, oxytocin needs to be used to promote uterine contraction, and antibiotics are also needed to prevent infection. Rest after abortion surgery is also very important. Sufficient rest and sleep after the surgery can promote better recovery of the uterus.

3. Vaginal bleeding suddenly occurs on the fifth day after an artificial abortion. The most common clinical cause is vaginal bleeding caused by careless diet. For example, eating ginseng, deer antler, red dates, donkey-hide gelatin, or stewing eggs or chicken with wine can also cause vaginal bleeding. This condition is often accompanied by fresh vaginal bleeding and no lower abdominal pain. The possibility of incomplete abortion should also be ruled out. In this case, vaginal bleeding is often accompanied by lower abdominal pain. It is best to go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound examination to understand the condition of the uterus, whether there is any residue in the uterine cavity, and provide timely treatment.
