Is sudden bleeding normal after surgery?

Patient's question:

After the surgery, there wasn't much bleeding, but on the 5th day, I started experiencing some abdominal pain and noticed bright red blood, which was more than the blood post-surgery. There were no other abnormalities. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this should not be a normal phenomenon. Postoperative death is a crime to do a re-examination mainly to check how clean the uterus is and whether there is an infection. Sexual life is strictly prohibited within one month to avoid infection. If there is fever, abdominal pain, or abnormal odor in secretions, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. Generally, bleeding gradually stops after 35 days, and it does not exceed 10 to 15 days. If the amount of bleeding is less than the amount of menstrual blood and the duration is too long, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly.
