Increased bleeding 12 days after medication abortion
Bleeding may increase 12 days after medication abortion, which could be due to poor uterine contraction, intrauterine infection, or retained tissue in the uterus. Targeted treatments are required, with specific analyses as follows:
1. Poor uterine contraction
It is common to experience bleeding after medication abortion, but it should not last very long. Poor uterine contraction may prolong vaginal bleeding, leading to this condition. Abdominal massage may help promote uterine contraction.
2. Intrauterine infection
Vaginal bleeding occurs after medication abortion, during which time immunity decreases. Pathogens may invade and cause intrauterine infection. Under pathogen stimulation, this condition may occur. Medications such as metronidazole tablets or tinidazole tablets may be taken under a doctor's guidance for treatment.
3. Retained tissue in the uterus
Incomplete medication abortion may leave small amounts of tissue in the uterine cavity, affecting uterine contraction and resulting in this condition. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure.
In addition to the above, conditions such as endometritis, adenomyosis, and uterine cancer can also cause this phenomenon. It is advisable to seek timely medical attention at a hospital to avoid delaying optimal treatment.
