Is it normal to have a second period after taking medication for a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

I had a medication abortion on November 24th, and the bleeding stopped around December 1st. Then, on December 12th, I had my second menstrual period. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after medication abortion, it is necessary to observe whether there is any tissue discharge. Two weeks after taking the medication, if there is no tissue discharge upon examination, or if vaginal bleeding is heavy, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure may be required. After medication abortion, rest is important, eat nutritious foods, avoid overexertion, and maintain external genital hygiene. Before the vaginal bleeding subsides, avoid taking baths and refrain from sexual activity.
