Bleeding after drug abortion

The bleeding that occurs after a medical abortion is an integral part of this procedure. In this case, the greatest importance is the duration, abundance of secretions from the genital tract after abortion.

How long does bleeding occur after a medical abortion?

When answering this kind of question, doctors always draw the woman's attention to the individual characteristics of the organism and warn that there are no specific terms for this phenomenon. At the same time, the fact that the interruption of pregnancy is carried out from the moment of the onset of the delay of the menstrual discharge is of no less importance: the smaller it is, the easier it is to restore the organism after the medal. The explanation for this dependence is the fact that the shorter the period, the fetal egg is more mobile, because still not well strengthened in the uterine cavity.

As a rule, the onset of bleeding after medical abortion is observed after 2 hours from the time of taking the drug (sometimes it occurs after 1.5-2 days). Normally, the secretions are mild, slightly painful, and remotely resemble those that a woman experiences during menstrual days.

Allocations that resemble monthly by volume usually last no more than 2 days, and then pass into a daub, which in turn can be noted up to 10-15 days from the date of the medabort.

Why is there no bleeding after a drug abortion?

It is worth saying that in some cases, a woman may face a lack of discharge after a medical abortion.

The reason for this, as a rule, is spasm of the cervix, which prevents a normal outflow of blood and leads to the formation of hematomas (a clot in the uterus). In such cases, cleaning of the uterine cavity by scraping is required. Otherwise, the reproductive system becomes infected. Therefore, if after a medical abortion does not bleed after 48 hours (maximum) - a woman should apply for medical help.

Separately, it is necessary to say about the reverse phenomenon, when bleeding after a medical termination of pregnancy lasts more than a month. As a rule, it indicates a strong lesion of endometrial tissue and requires urgent medical intervention.
