Patient's question:
After giving birth, the first menstrual period was normal, but the second period came with less blood flow and it was dark in color. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Hello, vaginal bleeding after a miscarriage usually lasts for 7-10 days, with the longest duration not exceeding 15 days. If the bleeding duration is prolonged, the amount of bleeding exceeds the normal menstrual flow, or accompanied by significant abdominal pain, it may indicate infection or incomplete miscarriage. It is recommended to seek medical attention for examination. It is still advisable to check whether it is due to incomplete miscarriage or poor uterine contractions. Further treatment may include uterine aspiration, anti-inflammatory therapy, hemostatic treatment, and the use of drugs to promote uterine contractions. Post-medicated abortion bleeding may be prolonged, but it is necessary to rule out the possibility of incomplete miscarriage.
