Why is the menstrual flow very heavy after an abortion?

Patient's question:

I had surgery on the 26th. My period started about two days ago, and it's already the third day, but there's still a lot of blood. I'm changing my sanitary pads very frequently, but each pad gets completely soaked. Even though I'm using night pads during the day, they still get soaked with blood. What's going on? Is this normal? Should I go to the hospital? I've already had a follow-up check, and they said there's nothing wrong with my uterus, just two cysts caused by inflammation.
What kind of assistance I need: I'd like to ask everyone for some clarification. I'm very worried.

Doctor's answer:

On the 26th of last month, I had an abortion. Now, I'm experiencing excessive peeling again. Normally, this situation would never occur again. If there's a slight bit more, it's usually fine as long as it doesn't exceed 7 days. If the peeling lasts for a long time, it's necessary to have a thorough examination. During menstruation, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
