Introduction
Under normal circumstances, whether it is normal to still have bleeding ten days after a painless abortion needs to be determined based on specific circumstances. If there is any discomfort, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician. Women should rest adequately after the procedure, avoid excessive fatigue, enhance nutritional intake, maintain external genital hygiene and dryness, and avoid tub bathing and sexual intercourse to promote physical recovery.

Generally speaking, painless artificial abortion refers to painless induced abortion. Whether it is normal to still have bleeding 10 days after a painless induced abortion needs to be determined according to the amount of bleeding and associated symptoms. If the bleeding gradually decreases and the color changes from bright red to light red or brown, it is usually considered normal. However, prolonged heavy bleeding accompanied by other abnormalities may indicate an abnormal condition. If discomfort occurs, timely medical attention is recommended for symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician. Detailed analysis is as follows:

The uterus is recovering and expelling residual tissue, which may cause bleeding after a painless abortion. When the bleeding gradually decreases and the color changes from bright red to light red or brown, it generally indicates the uterus is recovering well.

If bleeding lasts longer than two weeks, requires changing sanitary pads every hour, and is accompanied by severe abdominal pain, fever, or foul-smelling discharge, it may suggest the presence of retained tissue within the uterine cavity. In such cases, a B-ultrasound examination should be performed to confirm the presence of any retained material.

After surgery, women should ensure adequate rest, avoid excessive fatigue, enhance nutritional intake, maintain external genital hygiene and dryness, and avoid tub bathing and sexual intercourse to promote physical recovery.
