What should I do if the first menstrual flow after childbirth is too heavy?

Patient's question:

I am 25 years old. I didn't use protection during sex before, which led to pregnancy and a miscarriage. Now I have stomach pain and am not recovering well. Yesterday I had sex again and am afraid of getting pregnant again. What should I do if the first period after an abortion is too heavy?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description of symptoms, it falls within the normal range of phenomena, so there is no need to worry too much. It is recommended that you relax your mind and maintain emotional stability at all times. Pay attention to preventing colds and maintaining hygiene during menstruation. Avoid spicy and cold foods. If you are still not at ease, you can go to the hospital for an ultrasound or take many hemostatic medications.
