What to pay attention to on the fifth day after a painless abortion

Patient's question:

I finished the painless abortion five days ago. Yesterday afternoon, I went out and got a bit cold. My stomach has been hurting for a long time, and I've been bleeding quite a lot, but it's not as heavy as a menstrual period. My lower back is also very sore. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is normal to have abdominal pain within 3-5 days after a miscarriage, which is caused by uterine contractions. Bleeding should last for 3-7 days, not exceeding two weeks. If the bleeding and abdominal pain persist for a longer duration, it may indicate the possibility of uterine infection or incomplete miscarriage. It is necessary to undergo examinations and receive treatment based on the results. A follow-up check-up is recommended two weeks after the miscarriage. Rest for two weeks, and avoid sexual activity for the first month. Take good care of yourself.
