Is it normal to have bleeding three days after a painless abortion?

Patient's question:

I recently went to the hospital for a thorough check-up because I wasn't feeling well. The result was that I was almost three or four months pregnant. Due to certain factors, I had to undergo an abortion without anesthesia. However, three days after the procedure, I started bleeding. So, I want to ask if it's normal to bleed three days after an abortion without anesthesia?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, after a miscarriage surgery, a small amount of vaginal bleeding may reappear within one week. Additionally, the symptom you mentioned—where bleeding stops for a day or two before reappearing—may also occur. As long as the bleeding is not excessive and severe abdominal pain does not reoccur, it is not a major concern. It is recommended that you focus on taking medication for a few days to promote uterine contraction and blood clots discharge. If the bleeding is significant, it is best to visit a hospital for examination and, if necessary, undergo a uterine clearing procedure.
