Fourth day after an abortion, it starts to average one or two drops of blood per day. Please

Patient's question:

Doctor; Hello! I had an abortion seven days ago. On the day of the procedure, I experienced bleeding. However, there was no bleeding on the second and third days. Since the fourth day, I have been bleeding an average of one or two drops per day. Could you please explain why this is happening? Thank you

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it may be due to surgical trauma. After an induced abortion, you need to rest for 2 weeks and prevent catching a cold. Eat more nutritious foods, and avoid foods that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as jujubes, longans, donkey-hide glue, and brown sugar. Pay attention to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia. Wash with warm water 1-2 times a day and change sanitary pads frequently. Do not take a bath for 2 weeks or until the vaginal bleeding has stopped. Take oral antibiotics to prevent infection, and avoid sexual activity for 1 month. If you have fever, abdominal pain, or abnormal odor in vaginal discharge, it may be due to an infection. You should seek medical attention promptly.
