What is the reason for some abdominal pain after surgery?

Patient's question:

Medical Description: Patient is a female, 34 years old. On July 30, she underwent an abortion under anesthesia. There was basically no bleeding after the surgery, but about 5 or 6 days later, she started experiencing some abdominal pain and bleeding. On August 5, she went to the hospital for a consultation.
History of Treatment and Effectiveness:
Consultation Details: An ultrasound was performed, which revealed fluid accumulation in the uterus. The doctor prescribed uterine contraction medication to promote bleeding. After taking it for 2 days, she began experiencing uterine contractions and pain, but the bleeding stopped and the pain subsided. However, about a week later, she started bleeding again with dark brown blood yesterday.
What Help Is Needed: What could this situation be? She is very anxious and seeks medical advice!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to what you said, you should pay attention to rest. Not seeing red does not mean you have recovered. Based on your situation, it is recommended to rest and avoid overexertion. It is advised to stay at home for at least 1-2 weeks, while taking anti-inflammatory medication and Motherwort Granules. Currently, your uterus has not returned to normal, so it is not recommended to use any medication indiscriminately.
After an abortion, mild abdominal pain caused by uterine contractions or a small amount of vaginal bleeding may occur. These are normal phenomena. If there are no other abnormal symptoms, there is generally no need to worry excessively. However, if the abdominal pain is severe or the vaginal bleeding exceeds the normal amount of your menstrual period, it is necessary to go to the hospital immediately for a follow-up examination to determine whether the recovery of the uterus is normal and to receive timely treatment.
