How long after the surgery can a follow-up examination be performed?

Patient's question:

Is it necessary to go for a follow-up check-up at the hospital long after an abortion? I just had an abortion, and the doctor only asked me to go to the hospital for a follow-up check-up. But I don't know how long I need to wait before going to the hospital for the check-up. Could you give me some advice? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to carefully check whether it may be incomplete miscarriage or poor uterine contraction. It may still require uterine evacuation, anti-inflammatory treatment, and medication application, including the use of drugs to promote uterine contraction. Vaginal bleeding after a miscarriage generally lasts for 7-10 days, with a maximum of 15 days. If bleeding occurs again for an extended period, with a volume greater than a normal menstrual period or accompanied by severe abdominal pain, it may indicate infection or incomplete miscarriage.
