Medical abortion, also known as medication abortion, refers to the method of terminating pregnancy by taking some medication orally. In recent years, it has been widely used in clinical practice and is mostly suitable for women within seven weeks of pregnancy. Medical abortion has requirements for the pregnant woman's body and causes great harm to the body. So, are there many blood clots in medical abortion?
Medical abortion is the process of inducing necrosis of the uterine decidua and softening of the cervix through medication, accompanied by uterine contractions, in order to expel the embryo. The discharge may be accompanied by blood clot like substances, with varying degrees of occurrence. Patients often exhibit lower abdominal pain, which varies depending on individual physical conditions. Medical abortion carries certain risks. If the fetal sac is not expelled from the body within 8 days, it is necessary to go to the hospital for curettage surgery. Some women may have blood clots after the surgery, which is caused by incomplete abortion.
Medical abortion is a very simple method of abortion, and postoperative vaginal bleeding is a normal phenomenon. Generally, after 1-3 weeks, the amount of bleeding will gradually decrease. If it does not decrease for a long time but gradually increases, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner. Blood clots after medical abortion are often related to poor blood coagulation function, and infections in the uterus can also cause blood clots. Ultrasound examination is needed to see if there is still residual placenta in the uterus.
After a medical abortion, there may be residual blood in the uterine cavity that cannot be expelled in a timely manner, forming blood clots. It is necessary to undergo medication treatment for a week and curettage if necessary. This is a normal phenomenon. Patients need to maintain an optimistic attitude, go to the hospital for follow-up examination in a timely manner, and pay attention to rest in their daily lives.
