The amount of bleeding gradually decreases after an abortion, is this normal?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I just had an abortion, and it's been three days. Only on the first day did I have a few drops of fresh blood when I used the restroom. The second day, it was just a little bit, and very little on the sanitary pad, definitely less than my period. Now on the third day, it's almost gone. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your current condition is considered normal, indicating good uterine involution. In general, for normal individuals, vaginal bleeding after an abortion procedure should not last more than one week.
Advice: It is recommended that you continue to use appropriate contraceptive measures during sexual activity in the future. Frequent induced abortions can negatively impact your health. After the procedure, maintain hygiene in the perineal area, enhance nutrition, ensure adequate rest, and avoid getting cold. Abstain from sexual activity for at least one month post-surgery. Wishing you a speedy recovery. I hope my answer meets your satisfaction.
