Whether it is induced abortion or natural abortion, it can cause harm to the female body. From the implantation of the fertilized egg to the shedding of the gestational sac and endometrium, all these residues need to be excreted from the body after abortion, and the whole process takes a certain amount of time. So, how long does it usually take for an abortion?
Abortion is judged by the expulsion of the gestational sac from the body. Regardless of the method of abortion, the gestational sac is generally expelled in a short period of time, but this does not mean the end of the entire abortion process. After the gestational sac is discharged, the uterus will continue to bleed. With uterine contraction and wound repair, the bleeding will disappear in about five days, and the longest will not exceed two weeks. If there is no residue on the ultrasound examination and the uterus is normal, it indicates the end of the miscarriage. If there is persistent uterine bleeding, accompanied by abdominal pain, fever, etc., it indicates incomplete abortion or infection, and medical attention should be sought as soon as possible.
Women who experience extreme physical weakness after abortion should rest in bed for a week, pay attention to personal hygiene, strengthen their diet and nutrition, and avoid high-intensity physical labor. After the abortion is over, it is necessary to promptly go to the hospital for follow-up to observe the recovery of the uterus. During this period, it is not advisable to have sexual intercourse, let alone conceive again.
Generally, abortion takes about three to five days, while rest after abortion takes one month. Abortion causes great harm to women's bodies, and it is necessary to ensure complete physical recovery before resuming normal life and work to avoid leaving health hazards.
