Brown discharge 6 days after abortion

It is no longer a rare thing for women to go to the hospital for abortion, because abortion is needed for various situations such as unexpected pregnancy. The secretion will continue for about a period after the operation. If there is still brown secretion on the 6th day, you should check whether there is inflammation or whether it is in the normal stage. Follow-up examination after abortion is also very important.

Is it normal to have brown discharge after a painless abortion?

Brown discharge after abortion is a common phenomenon in women. Generally speaking, the bleeding time after abortion is 7 days, the amount of bleeding will not exceed the menstrual volume, there will be no blood clots, and the amount of bleeding tends to decrease. The blood color slowly changes from bright red to dark brown or light pink, light brown, and finally the bleeding stops completely. Therefore, it is normal for some patients to have brown secretions after abortion.

After a painless abortion, the amount of bleeding is small, and there will be brown discharge afterwards. This is because the surface of the uterus is traumatized and the wound slowly heals. The membrane that falls off the wound is brown. This process usually takes about three days. After it is clean, pay attention to the color and amount of the leucorrhea to avoid other inflammations after the operation. Remember to change your underwear frequently, clean your vagina every day, and pay attention to personal hygiene.

Some people bleed for a longer time, some may only bleed for 2-3 days, and some may not bleed at all. These are all normal. If the amount of vaginal bleeding exceeds the amount of menstrual blood, lasts too long, or the discharge has a foul odor and is accompanied by symptoms such as fever and abdominal pain, you should seek medical attention promptly.

In addition, experts also remind that dark brown color after menstruation is more likely to cause gynecological diseases such as: vaginitis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, cervical polyps, endometritis, submucous uterine fibroids, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant examination to see what is the cause so that targeted treatment can be given.
