How many days of bleeding is normal after medical abortion?

Medical abortion is a very simple and convenient method of abortion. It is a way to terminate pregnancy by taking medicine to expel the gestational sac. Like other abortion methods, there will be vaginal bleeding after abortion. So generally speaking, how many days of bleeding after medical abortion is normal?

The duration of bleeding after medical abortion varies from person to person. Some may be clean in four or five days, while others may take more than ten days. After the gestational sac is discharged after taking the medicine, bleeding will continue for a period of time. Generally, the normal bleeding time is about one to three weeks, and the bleeding will be less day by day. However, some women may have longer bleeding time, and some may bleed beyond this time. There are many reasons for long-term bleeding, such as incomplete decidua shedding, which affects uterine contraction and blood circulation; in addition, it may be due to incomplete expulsion of the gestational sac, resulting in incomplete abortion; a very small number of patients may also have infection, resulting in endometritis, resulting in long-term bleeding.

Under normal circumstances, vaginal bleeding after medical abortion will last about 7 to 10 days, and generally will not exceed 3 weeks at most. When prolonged bleeding occurs, or bleeding exceeds normal menstrual volume, or there are obvious abdominal pain symptoms, you should pay attention to it. This may be a sign of infection or incomplete medical abortion. You should check it out in time to identify the cause and then treat it symptomatically.

Compared with other abortion methods, the bleeding time after medical abortion will be longer. In addition, the cervix will relax after abortion, so medical abortion is more likely to breed bacteria or cause retrograde infection. Therefore, when vaginal bleeding after medical abortion exceeds seven days, it is recommended to take antibiotics regularly to prevent infection. Generally, it takes about three to five days.

The above is about the duration of bleeding after medical abortion. The specific time varies from person to person, and it is fine as long as it does not exceed the normal range. When the bleeding time after medical abortion is too long, you must check it in time and deal with it properly. In addition, you must pay attention to medical care for medical abortion, avoid having sex, sitting baths, and rest within one month, eat a healthy diet, eat more nutritious foods, avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods, and eat some blood-enriching and qi-replenishing foods in moderation to help the body recover.
