What is the reason for bleeding for half a month after a painless abortion?

Patient's question:

I haven't mentally prepared myself to be a mother yet. I feel like I'm still a child who hasn't grown up. It's really hard for me to take care of a child, and it's also because my husband didn't take proper safety measures that this happened. I had an abortion under anesthesia, but why is there still bleeding after half a month?

Doctor's answer:

After an induced abortion, some women may experience prolonged vaginal bleeding. It is important to rest well after the procedure, avoid overexertion, avoid contact with cold water, and refrain from eating spicy, irritating, or extremely cold foods. Pay attention to keeping your abdomen warm and consume more blood-nourishing foods, such as jujubes, goji berries, longans, and eeltang. If the bleeding persists, it is advisable to visit the gynecology department for a follow-up examination to check whether the vaginal bleeding is caused by incomplete uterine clearance.
