Brown blood after miscarriage

There will be vaginal bleeding for 1-2 weeks within a short period of time after the abortion. This symptom is normal. The secretion is to excrete the debris in the uterine cavity. Only by excreting it cleanly can it avoid leaving sequelae to the body later. However, everyone should pay attention. If there are coffee-colored blood spots after the abortion, and it lasts for more than a week, then you need to go to the hospital for further examination.

The amount of bleeding in artificial abortion is less than that in medical abortion, and the uterine bleeding time is shorter than that in medical abortion. Generally, the bleeding will stop within 10 days after the operation. However, it also has disadvantages:

There are possible complications of artificial abortion, including incomplete aspiration, missed aspiration, uterine perforation, cervical laceration, postoperative infection, intraoperative and postoperative bleeding, abortion syndrome, cervical and intrauterine adhesions, menstrual disorders, etc.

1. What is artificial abortion?

Before 24 weeks of pregnancy, the use of artificial methods to remove a developed but immature embryo from the uterus to end the pregnancy is called artificial abortion.

Artificial abortion is suitable for those who are not suitable for continuing the pregnancy due to certain serious diseases (such as active pulmonary tuberculosis, serious heart disease, etc.) or pregnancy complications, as well as those who have failed contraception.

Artificial abortion can be divided into early artificial abortion and mid-term induced abortion according to the length of pregnancy. Artificial abortion before 12 weeks of pregnancy is called early artificial abortion; artificial abortion between 12 and 27 weeks of pregnancy is called mid-term induced labor.

2. The most suitable time for abortion

It is most appropriate to have an artificial abortion within 10 weeks of pregnancy. Because the earlier the abortion is performed, the simpler and safer it will be; otherwise, the operation will be more complicated and the recovery time will be longer.

Commonly used early abortion procedures include suction uterine extraction (negative pressure aspiration) and curettage. The former is suitable for pregnant women within 10 weeks, and the latter is suitable for pregnant women between 10 and 14 weeks. Within 10 weeks of pregnancy, the uterus is not too large; the fetus and fetal mass have not yet formed, so there is generally no need to dilate the cervix and the fetal mass tissue can be easily sucked out; the reaction during the operation is mild; there is little bleeding, the operation time is short, and you can go home after resting for 1 to 2 hours after the operation. Recovery is also fast, and the impact on the body is small.

During the 10th to 14th week of pregnancy, as the embryo gradually grows, the fetal cavity has been formed, and the uterus also grows, it is not appropriate to use simple suction uterine abortion at this time, but platinum curettage abortion. The operation is difficult, involves a lot of bleeding, and has a relatively slow recovery, which has a certain impact on the body.

If the pregnancy exceeds 14 weeks, the above two types of artificial abortion cannot be performed, and hospitalization for induced abortion is required, which increases the pain of the pregnant woman and the risk of the operation.

Therefore, pregnant women who need artificial abortion should try to undergo aspiration surgery within 10 weeks of pregnancy to reduce the pain of the abortion.
