What is the reason for bleeding 20 days after a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

Last month, I had a cold and took cold medicine. I took it for about a week, but I didn't know at the time that I was pregnant. Then, I had to go to the hospital for an abortion. I want to ask, why is there still bleeding 20 days after the abortion? Is this situation normal?

Doctor's answer:

Post-abortion, the skin should not peel for more than 20 days. If you have already peeled for 20 days, I can tell you with certainty that this is not normal. The peeling period is usually about a week. If it lasts too long, it is mainly considered due to residual tissue remaining in the uterine cavity after the abortion. Therefore, you should have a follow-up ultrasound examination recently. If there is residual tissue, a second uterine evacuation may be necessary. Pay attention to your personal living habits and maintain a healthy diet.
