Why does it keep bleeding after childbirth?

Patient's question:

I had an induced abortion over a month ago. Because it wasn't completely clean at the time, I had a D&C a few days later. But now, 20 days after the D&C, I've also received four days of anti-inflammatory injections, but I still have discharge. Please help me with an explanation. Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the amount of bleeding after an induced abortion should be less than the menstrual flow, the bleeding duration should be less than 2 weeks, and the abdominal pain should generally not exceed 3 days. If these standards are exceeded, it should be considered as possible intrauterine residual, incomplete uterine involution, or uterine cavity infection, and active medical examination should be conducted to confirm the diagnosis for symptomatic treatment.
In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any method of induced abortion will have some impact on women. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. For induced abortion patients, self-care should be noted, such as dietary regulation, maintaining warmth, and avoiding cold exposure.
