Does miscarriage cause heavy bleeding?

Patient's question:

Doctor, is the bleeding significant after a miscarriage? Will it lead to severe bleeding due to the miscarriage, and could it be life-threatening?

Doctor's answer:

If it is in a formal hospital under the guidance of a professional doctor, a miscarriage after surgery will only result in a very small amount of bleeding. After the miscarriage, adequate rest is also necessary to prevent excessive bleeding. If there are residual embryonic tissues in the uterus after the miscarriage, it may lead to heavy bleeding, even life-threatening hemorrhage. Therefore, it is important to receive proper contraception education before sexual activity to prevent accidental pregnancy that may require a miscarriage.
