Is it normal to have excessive bleeding after a painless abortion?

Patient's question:

I had an abortion surgery without anesthesia two days ago. Before that, I didn't have any bleeding, but today I have more bleeding. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, a small amount of vaginal bleeding after an abortion is normal, but the amount of bleeding should not exceed the previous menstrual flow. Generally, vaginal bleeding gradually stops within 3-5 days, and should not exceed 10-15 days in total.
If the amount of vaginal bleeding exceeds the menstrual flow or the duration is too long, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. You should go to a professional hospital for relevant examinations and receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor as soon as possible.
