What should be done if there is heavy bleeding after surgery?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:
Three days after an abortion, the bleeding had already stopped, but today, on the fifth day, I was moving things and exerted too much force, causing some bleeding again, but it wasn’t much. Is this serious? Would taking Motherwort ointment help? What should I do?
Medical history: First-time abortion, no other gynecological disease history.

Doctor's answer:

When uterine contractions are poor, post-abortion vaginal bleeding lasts for a long time, and now menstrual irregularities may occur. If you do not have these symptoms, consider psychological factors, abdominal cold, or an unreasonable dietary structure as the causes. Poor uterine contractions can be treated with warm uterus therapy or by using drugs that help the uterus contract. If there is residual tissue, a D&C procedure is needed. It's best to get checked out as soon as possible.
