What is the difference between blood clots from medical abortion and blood clots from residual flow from medical abortion?

The blood and blood clots that flow out of a pregnant woman within half a month after a medical abortion are usually normal physiological phenomena caused by the effect of abortion drugs. If blood or blood clots still flow out of the body after half a month, it is likely a symptom of incomplete medical abortion and you need to seek medical attention in time.

No matter how successful the medical abortion is, it is inevitable that blood and blood clots will flow out of the vagina. If the medical abortion fails, the embryo remnants will also cause blood and blood clots to flow out of the vagina. However, many people do not know the difference between the normal blood clots that flow out during the medical abortion process and the blood clots that flow out of the medical abortion residue. So let's take a look at the difference between medical abortion residues and blood clots.
There is no relationship between residual blood from medical abortion and blood clots. They are two different concepts. Under normal circumstances, vaginal bleeding after medical abortion cannot exceed half a month at most, and the amount of bleeding will gradually decrease and finally turn brown. Residual bleeding in patients will last for more than half a month, and the amount of vaginal bleeding can be more or less, and can be bright red or brown. Blood clots are just lumps formed by blood coagulation, which can occur in bleeding after medical abortion or in any vaginal bleeding, including normal menstruation.
The difference between normal blood clots that flow out during medical abortion and blood clots that flow out as residues of medical abortion is mainly related to the bleeding time. Generally, pregnant women will have blood and blood clots flowing out of their vagina within a week or so after medical abortion. The blood and blood clots that flow out at this time are normal blood clots produced by medical abortion.
If a pregnant woman still has blood or blood clots coming out of her vagina half a month after a medical abortion, it may be caused by the embryonic tissue remaining in the uterus due to incomplete abortion. If the examination finds that there is no residual embryonic tissue in the uterus, it is caused by infection in the uterus.
Color and smell are also the main differences between normal blood clots produced during medical abortion and blood clots produced by medical abortion residues. Normal blood clots produced during medical abortion are usually red in color, and the smell is mainly the fishy smell of blood. However, blood clots from medical abortion residues are usually darker in color, possibly brown or even black, and may have some unpleasant rancid smells, which is caused by the large amount of toxins and bacteria produced by the embryonic tissue in the uterus.
The above is an explanation of the difference between medical abortion residue and blood clots. Pregnant women who have undergone medical abortion must go to a regular gynecological hospital for correct diagnosis and treatment in time if they find symptoms of incomplete medical abortion to avoid uterine infection or other serious gynecological diseases.
