Postoperative bleeding still persists two weeks after the surgery

Patient's question:

I have been having intermittent bleeding after the procedure, but it's not much. On the fifteenth day after the surgery, I went for a follow-up check-up, and the doctor said it was normal. It has been five days since the follow-up, and since yesterday, the bleeding has been like a menstrual period, and it's even more today, accompanied by lower abdominal pain. Is it serious? Do I need medication?

Doctor's answer:

After a miscarriage, the body's resistance decreases, making personal hygiene even more important. Due to the remaining wound on the endometrium, vaginal discharge increases, creating a breeding ground for bacterial infection and proliferation. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the external genitalia. Shower and clean the external genitalia promptly, disinfect toilet paper, and change it frequently. Avoid tub baths for half a month, and change underwear more often. For the first month, sexual intercourse should be absolutely avoided to prevent bacterial infection. Additionally, further emphasis should be placed on contraception.
