Introduction
Twelve days after abortion and uterine evacuation, the presence of yellowish-brown discharge is generally a normal phenomenon caused by incomplete recovery of the endometrium. It may be due to incomplete evacuation, secondary infection, or other reasons. This can be improved through general management and medication. Besides the above causes, poor endometrial repair could also be a possible reason. Patients must follow medical advice when taking medications and should not use drugs blindly.

It is generally normal to still have yellowish-brown discharge 12 days after an abortion and uterine evacuation procedure, usually due to the endometrium not having fully recovered. It could also be caused by incomplete evacuation or secondary infection. This condition can be improved through general care or medication. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Incomplete Endometrial Recovery

This typically refers to minor bleeding caused by the endometrium not yet fully healing after a curettage procedure, resulting in brownish discharge. If only a small amount of yellowish-brown discharge appears and no other discomfort symptoms are present, there is generally no need for concern. This is considered a normal phenomenon. Adequate rest and avoiding excessive physical strain are recommended.

2. Incomplete Evacuation

It's possible that not all tissue remnants were completely removed from the uterine cavity during the abortion procedure. These remaining tissues may mix with vaginal blood and secretions, leading to the discharge of yellowish-brown material. Patients may take medications such as Yimucao Granules, Xinshenghua Granules, or Yigong Granules, which help promote uterine contractions and facilitate the rapid expulsion of the discolored discharge.

3. Secondary Infection

After an abortion and uterine evacuation, the body may be weakened. If proper personal hygiene and protection are not maintained, pathogens may enter the body and lead to secondary infection, causing blood accumulation in the uterine cavity and resulting in yellowish-brown discharge. In such cases, treatment under a doctor’s guidance with medications like Metronidazole Tablets, Cefixime Capsules, or Penicillin V Potassium Capsules may be necessary.

Besides the above reasons, poor endometrial repair could also be a factor. Patients should always follow medical advice when taking medication and avoid self-medicating. Additionally, maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy or irritating foods—such as chili peppers, fatty meats, and ice cream—is recommended in daily life.
