How long after a miscarriage does it take for bleeding to stop, and how can it be treated?

Patient's question:

After the abortion, there was no bleeding. The bleeding didn't last long after the abortion, but it hasn't stopped yet. Is there a problem? How long after an abortion does it take for bleeding to stop?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after a miscarriage, the endometrium is often damaged, and a full recovery takes a certain amount of time. Sometimes, bleeding may continue for several days, similar to a menstrual period. If the bleeding does not exceed one week and there is no abdominal pain, there is no need to be too anxious. You can take medication to promote uterine contraction and slow down the recovery process. It is recommended to have a follow-up ultrasound examination around half a month later to check the recovery status.
