Is it normal to bleed for several days after an abortion?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. How many days of bleeding is normal after an abortion under anesthesia?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Generally speaking, the amount of bleeding after an abortion should not exceed menstrual flow, the bleeding duration should not last more than two weeks, and abdominal pain should not persist beyond one week. If these limits are exceeded, it may indicate intrauterine residue, incomplete uterine involution, or uterine cavity infection. It is recommended to closely monitor your condition and undergo a follow-up examination at the treating hospital around two weeks post-surgery to assess the uterine recovery.
In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any type of abortion will have some impact on the pregnant woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. For abortion patients, self-care measures include maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
