Is it normal for menstruation to last a long time after a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

I've had a miscarriage for over a month now. My period has been irregular, and it has been coming for half a month. I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, and the doctor said everything was fine. They prescribed some medication for regulation and anti-inflammation. For the days I was taking the medicine, everything seemed fine, and I thought it had improved. But yesterday, my period came again. I don't know what's going on?

Doctor's answer:

Hello. Under normal circumstances, menstruation should occur around one month after a miscarriage. However, the bleeding you described lasting for more than two weeks does not seem to be a normal menstrual period. It is more likely related to gynecological inflammation, abnormal uterine contraction function, or even retained tissue inside the uterus.
Advice: If you experience bleeding more than a month after the miscarriage, it might be the actual menstrual period. However, if you are still concerned and cannot determine the cause, you can visit a hospital for an ultrasound and endocrine tests to clarify the reason for the bleeding.
