Why did the bleeding suddenly increase 14 days after the abortion was complete with medication?

Medical abortion is achieved by taking medicine. Although it is a medical abortion, it still causes certain harm to the human body and can seriously cause infertility. Therefore, you must take contraceptive measures when having sex. Do not have abortions frequently and do not take emergency contraceptive pills frequently. Some women suddenly experience excessive bleeding 14 days after having a medical abortion. Why is there a sudden increase in bleeding 14 days after the abortion was complete? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. Why did the amount of blood suddenly increase 14 days after the abortion was complete with medication?

On the 14th day after medical abortion, the blood volume suddenly increases, the failure rate of medical abortion is high, and incomplete abortion may occur, causing irregular menstruation, irregular vaginal bleeding, etc., and uterine curettage is required.

2. Notes

1. Before medical abortion

(1) Before medical abortion, an ultrasound examination should be performed to rule out ectopic pregnancy and understand the size and location of the embryonic sac to help determine whether medical abortion is appropriate.

(2) Medical abortion can only be performed on women who conceived within 49 days of amenorrhea and are under the age of 40.

(3) The patient is in good physical condition and has no contraindications. The so-called contraindications include: past or current severe systemic diseases, liver and kidney dysfunction, allergic constitution, heart disease, hypertension, anemia, asthma, glaucoma, skin itching during pregnancy, etc.

(4) Medical abortion should be performed in a hospital that has emergency treatment, curettage, and blood and fluid transfusion facilities, and the patient should be closely observed to prevent any unexpected events.

(5) Strictly following the doctor's instructions and returning for follow-up visits on time are important precautions before medical abortion.

2. After medical abortion

(1) Hygiene and contraception after medical abortion should be taken more seriously.

(2) During medical abortion, retrograde infection is prone to occur due to new trauma to the uterus and vaginal bleeding. Therefore, attention should be paid to local hygiene. Showers should be taken instead of baths in a tub to prevent sewage from entering the vagina and causing infection. No sexual intercourse for one month.

(3) Rest for 1 to 2 weeks after medical abortion and gradually increase your activity level. Do not engage in heavy physical labor or work in cold water within one month after an abortion to avoid reduced resistance and inducing other diseases.

3. Notes

Observe the bleeding situation. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after abortion, or is even accompanied by abnormal symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.
