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 blood when I used the restroom, and on the second day, it was just a little bit. There was also very little blood on the sanitary pad, definitely less than a normal menstrual period. Now on the third day, it's almost like there's none at all. 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 good hygiene in the perineal area, enhance nutrition, ensure adequate rest, and avoid getting colds. Abstain from sexual activity for at least one month post-surgery. Wishing you a speedy recovery. I hope my answer meets your satisfaction.
