Is vaginal bleeding normal after uterine polypectomy?

Patient's question:

After my period, I had stomach pain for two days and went to the county hospital for an ultrasound. The result showed endometrial hyperplasia. Then, I had a hysteroscopy polypectomy at the No. 2 Hospital. The pathology report indicated polyp hyperplasia with fibrosis. I was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia, with a hemoglobin level of 83. I was prescribed ferrous sulfate and folic acid tablets. Back home, I took cefpodoxime and levofloxacin for a week, which were fine, and I continued taking herbal medicine to boost my qi.
A week later, I had a very small amount of blood. Three days later, it didn’t improve, so I went back to the county hospital for another ultrasound. They said I had pelvic effusion and prescribed Fulepian and Wumei Neng Xiao capsules. However, after taking them three times, the bleeding increased. I’m not sure if it’s my period or just bleeding. Should I keep taking the medicine, or is there something wrong?

Doctor's answer:

One week later, the peeling should be the scab shedding from the electric excision wound. This is normal. The subsequent anti-infection treatment will not interfere with anything.
2. You had your period last month. Today, there is more blood, so it is likely that you are having another period. Wait and see for a few more days, and it should clear up. If it doesn’t, you can take oral short-acting birth control pills, Marvelon, one tablet twice a day for three days. If the bleeding stops, switch to one tablet once a day. Finish the remaining pills and wait for your next period. This is not a menstrual disorder; this is normal vaginal bleeding.
