Patient's question:
What is the reason for the first normal menstrual period after delivery and the second menstrual period being less in amount and dark in color?Doctor's answer:
Hello, vaginal bleeding after a miscarriage usually lasts for 7-10 days, with the longest duration not exceeding 15 days. If the bleeding duration is prolonged, the amount of bleeding exceeds the normal menstrual flow, or accompanied by significant abdominal pain, it may indicate infection or incomplete miscarriage. It is recommended to visit a hospital for examination. It is still advisable to check whether it is due to incomplete miscarriage or poor uterine contraction. Further treatment may be required, including uterine aspiration, anti-inflammatory therapy, and hemostatic treatment, along with the use of drugs to promote uterine contraction. Post-medicated abortion bleeding may be prolonged, but it is necessary to rule out the possibility of incomplete miscarriage.
