What is the reason for bleeding after an abortion?

Patient's question:

Within half a month after an induced abortion, there was bleeding again, accompanied by lower abdominal pain, discharge with a certain odor, and itching of the external genitalia. What is the cause?

Doctor's answer:

It is likely due to incomplete miscarriage or infectious factors. After an induced abortion, some bleeding is common, usually lasting about a week. If the bleeding lasts less than this duration or the amount of blood is less than a menstrual period, further ultrasound examination is needed to check for tissue remnants or the possibility of infection. You will also need a white discharge examination. These tests are necessary to determine the cause.
