Patient's question:
After an abortion without pain, on the third day, there was a lot of bleeding, and my stomach has been slightly painful. Starting from the fourth day, the amount of blood has decreased. Is it my period?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after an abortion, bleeding usually stops within a few days, with a maximum of two weeks. For less traumatic procedures like painless abortions, bleeding may even stop by the next night. The amount of bleeding after an abortion should not be more than a normal menstrual period. If bleeding persists for more than a week after a painless abortion, it may be due to inadequate rest, leading to poor uterine recovery, which is called uterine contractions. It could also be caused by inflammation leading to continued bleeding.
