Five months after induced abortion and D&C, it has been 10 days. There is sticky red discharge. Is this normal?

Patient's question:

Hello, I would like to ask, ten days after a D&C procedure following a five-month miscarriage, when using toilet paper, there is a sticky, red substance. Is this normal? Sometimes, my left lower abdomen also has occasional, brief periods of pain.

Doctor's answer:

This situation may be caused by residual fetal membrane tissue, incomplete drainage of blood from the uterine cavity, or uterine infection.
It is recommended to undergo a uterine ultrasound examination at the hospital, take appropriate doses of Motherwort Granules, Women's Golden Pill, and Amoxicillin for regulation, and drink some brown sugar water daily to supplement nutrition. This will help with recovery and avoid sexual activity for one month.
