What should I do if I am bleeding one month after a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

I had a miscarriage after accidentally losing the baby I was carrying. What should I do if I'm bleeding one month after the miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

If it has been a month since the miscarriage and you are experiencing vaginal bleeding now, it is likely that your period has arrived. Generally, menstruation typically returns about a month after a miscarriage. You should pay close attention and carefully observe. If the amount and duration of the bleeding are similar to your usual period, it means your period has arrived, and there is no need to worry. This indicates that your uterus has fully recovered. However, if you have been experiencing continuous bleeding for a month after the miscarriage, it is not normal, and you should have an ultrasound to check for any retained products of conception.
