How many days of bleeding after an abortion?

Patient's question:

I didn't want to get pregnant, so I want to have an abortion. How many days after a miscarriage does it take to heal?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, after an abortion, bleeding may last for 3 to 7 days, which is the most common duration. However, this is not absolute, as it varies from person to person. If bleeding persists for more than ten days, it is recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound follow-up to check for incomplete miscarriage or the possibility of infection. The cause should be identified, and appropriate treatment should be administered. There is one important point to emphasize: terminating an early pregnancy can harm your body, and if not handled properly, it may affect future fertility. You need to think carefully about this.
