What are the symptoms of menstruation after medical abortion?

When an unexpected pregnancy occurs and both parties do not want the child, they will choose to go to the hospital for an abortion. There are often two types of artificial abortion. The first is medical abortion, and the second is ordinary artificial abortion including painless abortion. Sometimes, in order to avoid being discovered by others, some women choose to have a medical abortion, but the result is a painful one! So, what are the symptoms of menstruation after a medical abortion?

After medical abortion, the time for menstruation to resume is generally 28-35 days, and for a few people it may take several months. There may also be prolonged bleeding, heavy bleeding, and infection. The main reason is that the conventional dosage of medical abortion drugs varies from person to person. For a few people, insufficient medication leads to incomplete abortion, resulting in prolonged bleeding time and menstrual changes. Usually after a miscarriage, due to endocrine disorders, there will be temporary menstrual disorders, which usually return to normal in about three months. Please be careful to take precautions when having sex after your period to prevent unwanted pregnancy and further harm to your body

General Process

1. Strict screening before medication, including asking about medical history, conducting a full physical examination and gynecological examination, and laboratory tests such as urine pregnancy test, vaginal cleanliness, Trichomonas and fungi, blood routine and blood type, and B-ultrasound examination.

2. The doctor explains in detail how to take the medication, the efficacy of the medication and possible side effects. The patient can only use the medication after he or she understands and signs.

3. Monitoring during abortion: During the hospitalization observation period, in addition to paying attention to blood pressure, pulse, and side effects of drugs, all urine and feces must be retained in a clean bedpan, and a dedicated person will check and record the presence of a gestational sac and its excretion time, the size of the gestational sac, and the amount of bleeding. If there is active bleeding before or after the expulsion of the fetal sac, uterotonics can be given or curettage can be performed immediately to stop the bleeding.

4. If tissue is discharged at home, it must be brought to the doctor for examination. If vaginal bleeding is more than normal menstrual flow, go to the hospital for treatment in time.
