How should bleeding be treated after one week of heavy menstrual flow?

Patient's question:

I haven't been planning to have a child with my boyfriend for the past one or two years, so I've been breastfeeding consistently. However, for some unknown reason, I've recently been feeling unwell and decided to get a thorough medical check-up. To my surprise, I found out I was pregnant. As a result, I had an abortion. Three days after taking the topical anti-inflammatory medication one week after the abortion, I started bleeding red blood. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

One week after a miscarriage, skin peeling is not normal. It is recommended that you immediately undergo a color Doppler ultrasound examination to check the complete recovery of the uterus. Carefully examine whether there is any residual tissue in the uterine cavity. If there is residual tissue in the uterine cavity, it needs to be resolved through a uterine aspiration procedure. Within one month after a miscarriage, sexual activity must be strictly avoided to prevent intrauterine infection. After a miscarriage, it is important to enhance nutrition and consume more protein-rich foods. Avoid extremely cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
