After taking medication for a miscarriage, it has been 24 days and the blood has not yet stopped. What should I do?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I went to the hospital on November 11th for medication-induced abortion, and the discharge fluid was confirmed by the doctor. Later, I rested at home for 3 days, consuming dishes like pig liver soup, pig heart soup, red dates, brown sugar, and eggs. After about 14 more days, the bleeding had significantly decreased and was almost gone. However, on one Sunday (the 27th), it might have been due to walking too much and feeling very tired, that the bleeding that night was much heavier than before, and the blood color was bright red, while the previous bleeding was dark red. In recent days, the bleeding volume has been higher than the average of the previous days, and it seems to have more liquid components. Around the 24th, I took a blood-boosting supplement called Xue Wang.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, 24 days after medication-induced abortion, vaginal bleeding has reappeared, which could be a normal menstrual period. It is recommended to have an ultrasound examination at the hospital. If there is no residual tissue in the uterine cavity and the uterus has recovered well, then it is a normal menstrual period. It is advised to avoid sexual activity, sitz baths, vaginal irrigation, and medication administration after abortion until menstruation resumes to prevent reproductive organ infections. Once sexual activity resumes, contraceptive measures should be taken to avoid pregnancy again.
