Patient's question:
I had an abortion on December 5th, and today is already the 5th day. Two days after the surgery, there was no bleeding, but today there is blood coming out. I don't know what the reason is, and whether it could be my period? During these 5 days, I haven't engaged in any strenuous exercise, and I've been very careful with hygiene. The surgery was a visual aspiration, where the doctor could clearly see through the screen whether it was scraped clean during the procedure. So it shouldn't be bleeding due to incomplete miscarriage, right? And I don't have any lower abdominal pain.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Vaginal bleeding after a miscarriage usually lasts for 3-5 days, with the longest duration not exceeding 15 days. If there is prolonged bleeding, bleeding volume greater than normal menstrual flow, or accompanied by significant abdominal pain, it may indicate incomplete miscarriage, poor uterine contraction, or infection, and it is important to seek medical attention promptly for examination and treatment. This condition may lead to inflammation and requires active medical evaluation.
