Practically after each abortion (abortion), there is the occurrence of uterine bleeding. In rare cases, it may be absent or be insignificant. As a rule, it occurs during the first day after the abortion.
Women, faced with such a problem, first of all ask the following question: "How long does the bleeding take place after the abortion?" Uterine bleeding after abortion can last 6 weeks and proceeds intermittently. It all depends on the type of abortion.
Surgical abortion
Bleeding, which is a consequence of surgical abortion , can be observed after a poorly conducted procedure. So, often in the uterus may remain undeveloped parts of the fetal tissue or during the operation there is injury to the cervix, which causes bleeding.
Medical abortion
The duration of bleeding, after a medical abortion, can be different. In this case, the main role is played by the fact, at what time the procedure for abortion is performed.
Doctors note the following regularity: the shorter the duration of the delay, the more medical abortion is easier, and the bleeding has a shorter duration. This fact is easily explained by the fact that in a short period the fetal egg is still poorly entrenched in the uterine cavity, and hormonal changes are not yet occurring in the female body.
Bloody discharge in these cases is observed after 2 hours after taking the drug. In rare cases - after 36-48 hours after abortion severe bleeding develops.
Mini-abortion
After a mini-abortion, the occurrence of bleeding is a consequence of a violation of the blood clotting process. It is rarely observed and can be caused by the introduction of hyperosmolar solutions in the 2nd trimester of the current pregnancy or by an unsuccessful spontaneous abortion.
In norm or rate after the spent abortion allocation of blood small on volume and remind monthly. Often they have a smearing character. Such discharge lasts no more than 14 days from the moment of abortion. Often they can last until the next month.
How to treat?
It's impossible to stop the bleeding after the abortion, no matter how hard the woman tried. The only way out is to consult a gynecologist.
