Patient's question:
I had an abortion on December 19th. About a week later, I started experiencing irregular bleeding, which was a bit dark in color. It has been 15 days now, and I still have occasional bleeding, but it's not constant—only a little on some days, and the amount is not significant. Sometimes I also have lower abdominal pain. What could be the reason?First follow-up question: Could it be an incomplete miscarriage? Please reply.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, hello, vaginal bleeding will occur within one week after childbirth, with the amount gradually decreasing and eventually stopping. The discharge will have no odor and is usually clean within two weeks. Some people may bleed for a longer duration, while others may only have bleeding for 2-3 days, or some may not bleed at all. These are all normal. If the bleeding lasts more than 15 days, the amount of bleeding exceeds the menstrual flow, especially if the discharge has a foul odor and is accompanied by symptoms such as fever and abdominal pain, it should be considered as an infection or incomplete miscarriage.
