What is the reason for having a menstrual period 8 days after an abortion one month ago?

Patient's question:

I had an abortion a month ago and started my period, but it has been 8 days and there is still blood coming out. For this situation, I want to know what is happening when I have my period 8 days after an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

After an abortion, the first menstrual period has arrived. It has been eight days now. A small amount of bleeding is normal. If it hasn't stopped within ten days, you should go to the hospital for an ultrasound. Based on the ultrasound results, treatment can be adjusted. Use a hot water bag to warm your abdomen, avoid extremely cold foods, and pay attention to hygiene, keeping the external genital area clean. Drink plenty of water, eat more fruits and vegetables, maintain a balanced diet, and avoid snacks.
