Is it normal to have a relatively small amount of menstrual flow after taking medication for a miscarriage and having a uterine clearance procedure?

Patient's question:

I started taking medicine and having medication abortion on the 4th of last month, and had a D&C on the 21st. My period came on the 4th of this month, and the amount was a bit less than usual. I heard that after medication abortion, periods usually don't come for one or two months. Is it normal for me to have it so soon?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is common for women to experience a small amount of bleeding after an abortion, which gradually decreases over time. However, if the bleeding persists for an extended period, it may be due to inflammation of the endometrium caused during the procedure. In general, for safety, it is recommended to visit a hospital.
