The color of blood during an abortion can vary from bright red to a lighter shade of red or pink, and eventually to brown discharge.
The bleeding experienced during and after an abortion procedure changes color as the process progresses and the body heals. Here's a breakdown of what to expect:
-
Initially: The blood is typically bright red, similar to a menstrual period.
-
First Few Days: As the days pass, the bleeding usually transitions to a lighter shade of red or pink. This indicates the body is healing, and the amount of blood being discharged is decreasing.
-
Within a Week: Around a few days to a week after the abortion, brown discharge is commonly observed. This is a sign of old blood being expelled.
It is important to monitor the bleeding and seek medical attention if you experience excessive bleeding, severe pain, or any other concerning symptoms.
