Is vaginal bleeding normal after a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. I had an abortion on January 4th under anesthesia. After going home, I didn't feel anything and there was no bleeding, just some brown discharge, not much. But yesterday, on the 8th, right after eating, I felt something coming out, and it turned out to be red blood. It wasn't a lot, just moderate. By the evening, it had decreased, and today it's still not much, just some pinkish discharge. Why didn't it start earlier, and why did it suddenly appear later? An ultrasound showed a 2.9 cm corpus luteum cyst on my right ovary. Will it disappear after the abortion?

Doctor's answer:

??????Hello, in such cases, it is normal. Vaginal bleeding after a miscarriage is considered normal as long as it does not exceed two weeks. Currently, your abdominal pain is likely due to the uterus contracting to expel residual tissue. This may require oral anti-inflammatory medication and medication to promote uterine contractions. In fact, undergoing any form of induced abortion can cause some damage to the patient. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Patients undergoing induced abortion should take care of themselves, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
