Is it normal to have less bleeding before going for a follow-up check-up?

Patient's question:

One week after the procedure, I went to the hospital for a follow-up visit. Before that, the bleeding was not significant, but the doctor recommended an ultrasound examination. The results were normal. However, on the day of the ultrasound, the bleeding increased, and I also experienced some lower abdominal pain. Could it be that the ultrasound caused an infection or affected my recovery after the procedure?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, bleeding within two weeks after a miscarriage is generally considered a normal phenomenon. It is recommended to schedule follow-up appointments, such as regular ultrasound checks, to monitor the recovery of the uterus. Additionally, sexual activity should be avoided for at least one month after a miscarriage. In fact, any form of induced abortion can cause some degree of harm to the patient. Therefore, patients should pay attention to their diet. Post-abortion patients should also focus on self-care, such as dietary adjustments and maintaining warmth to avoid catching a cold.
